Induction of Distinct Neurologic Disease Manifestations during Relapsing Fever Requires T Lymphocytes

Induction of distinct neurologic disease manifestations during relapsing fever requires T lymphocytes.

Relapsing fever borreliosis is a multisystemic infection characterized primarily by bacteremia but can extend to the CNS. The incidence of CNS disease manifestations in humans depends on the infecting relapsing fever Borrelia species. In the murine model of Borrelia hermsii infection we found high incidence of distinct signs of CNS disease that ranged from a flaccid tail to complete paralysis o...

[Neurologic manifestations of Behçet's disease].

Characterised classically by the association of buccal and genital ulceration and uveitis with hypopyon, Behçet's disease has many other manifestations, amongst which the neurological ones (often referred to as Neuro-Behçet) are important in view of their frequency and their gravity. Anatomically, it produces a subacute haemorrhagic and necrotising meningo-encephalitis, which most typically eff...

Imaging Neurologic Manifestations of Oncologic Disease

Brain metastases are the most common cause of malignant brain tumors in adults. Lung and breast cancers are the most common tumors that metastasize to brain, with melanoma, renal, and colorectal cancers accounting for the majority of the remaining metastases [1]. Among human cancers, melanoma has the highest propensity to metastasize to the brain [2]. The relative anatomical distribution of met...
