Congenital lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection: decade of rediscovery.
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is an underdiagnosed fetal teratogen. This diagnosis should be considered for infants and children with unexplained hydrocephalus, micro- or macrocephaly, intracranial calcifications, chorioretinitis, and nonimmune hydrops. The immunofluorescent antibody test is the only reasonable, commercially available, screening diagnostic tool. The differential dia...

متن کاملMicrocephaly Caused by Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus
We report congenital microencephaly caused by infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus in the fetus of a 29-year-old pregnant women at 23 weeks' gestation. The diagnosis was made by ultrasonography and negative results for other agents and confirmed by a positive PCR result for lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus in an amniotic fluid sample.
متن کاملImmunopathological basis of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus-induced chorioretinitis and keratitis.
The infection of humans with the rodent-borne lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) can lead to central nervous system disease in adults or severe neurological disease with hydrocephalus and chorioretinitis in children infected congenitally. Although LCMV-induced meningitis and encephalitis have been studied extensively, the immunopathological mechanisms underlying LCMV infection-associated...
متن کاملHuman Infection with Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus
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...
