Neurological Sequelae Resulting from Encephalitic Alphavirus Infection
The recent surge in viral clinical cases and associated neurological deficits have reminded us that viral infections can lead to detrimental, long-term effects, termed sequelae, in survivors. Alphaviruses are enveloped, single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses in the Togaviridae family. Transmission of alphaviruses between and within species occurs mainly via the bite of an infected mosquito ...
متن کاملMouse Model of Neurological Complications Resulting from Encephalitic Alphavirus Infection
Long-term neurological complications, termed sequelae, can result from viral encephalitis, which are not well understood. In human survivors, alphavirus encephalitis can cause severe neurobehavioral changes, in the most extreme cases, a schizophrenic-like syndrome. In the present study, we aimed to adapt an animal model of alphavirus infection survival to study the development of these long-ter...
متن کاملAlphavirus virus-based chimeric vaccines against encephalitic alphaviruses
Encephalitic viruses in the Family Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus are zoonotic pathogens that are transmitted via hematophagous arthropods and have a widespread distribution in North, Central and South America and include Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV), Western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV), Eastern equine encephalitis virus (EEEV). The deficit in specific antiviral drugs or vacc...
متن کاملEncephalitic Development in Alphaviral Infection
Viruses are currently the most common cause of encephalitis. With more than 20 viruses known to cause human encephalitis, arboviruses, arthropod-borne viruses, represent a significant number of emerging infectious diseases both in the United States and worldwide. The Alphavirus genus in the family Togaviridae contains three viruses capable of causing human encephalitis: Venezuelan equine enceph...
متن کاملNeurological Sequelae of Sepsis: II) Neuromuscular Weakness
Critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) and critical illness myopathy (CIM) have been established as separate entities of muscular weakness in critically ill patients, although both may be associated to each other in some respects. Both are associated to systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, and severe sepsis. Major signs of nerve and muscle disturbances in critically ill patients are ...
