Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus: an unrecognized teratogenic pathogen.
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), the first member of the arenavirus family to be isolated, is the causative agent of a zoonosis acquired from chronically viremic mice or hamsters (1). The clinical spectrum of acquired human LCMV infection ranges from inapparent and asymptomatic to, in rare instances, severely symptomatic, systemic, and fatal central nervous system (CNS) disease.

SIRI read with great interest the article by Marrie et al. regarding a questionably new encephalomyeloradiculopathy [1]. Although the authors state that they considered a variety of etiologic agents as the cause of illness in their patients and searched extensively for these agents, they did not consider a most probable pathogen, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). A wide range of neurol...

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), a human zoonosis caused by a rodent-borne arenavirus, has been associated with both postnatal and intrauterine human disease. Infection in man is acquired after inhalation, ingestion, or direct contact with virus found in the urine, feces, and saliva of infected mice, hamsters, and guinea pigs. Congenital LCMV infection is a significant, often unrecogn...
متن کاملLymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus
There has been an upsurge of interest in lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) as a human pathogen and specifically as an underdiagnosed congenital infection (1,2). LCMV is a member of the Arenaviridae family of viruses. Arenaviruses have a complex life cycle involving chronic infection and shedding of the virus in rodents and episodic infections in humans (3,4). Six of the arenaviruses (La...

Lung contusions and pandemic (H1N1) 2009 can cause ARDS (6,7). We do not know the relative role of each in causing the ARDS that our patient had, but the severity of clinical symptoms, although the lung injury was judged to be only of moderate magnitude, suggests that infl uenza played a major role in the development of his acute lung disease. The infection with oseltamivir-resistant virus, for...
