Epstein-Barr virus in cerebrospinal fluid during infectious mononucleosis encephalitis.
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was recovered from cerebrospinal cells (but not from cell-free fluid) of a patient with meningoencephalitis complicating infectious mononucleosis. This finding suggests that virus-altered B lymphocytes can invade the central nervous system and may play a direct role in the pathogenesis of neurologic sequelae of EBV infections. Several mechanisms by which these cells can...
متن کاملThe EB virus in relation to infectious mononucleosis.
Chance favours the prepared mind and it was a fortunate circumstance that the Henles were studying the Epstein-Barr (EB) virus (Epstein, 1970) when one of their technicians, whose serum was being used as a negative control, fell ill with typical infectious mononucleosis. During this illness, she developed not only heterophile antibodies but also fluorescent antibodies to the EB virus (Henle, He...
متن کاملStudies on the diagnostic value of an immunofluorescence test for EB virus-specific IgM.
A modification of the test for EB virus/IgM introduced by Schmitz and Scherer (1972) is described. It is simple and gives reproducible results.EB virus/IgM was demonstrated in all but one case of infectious mononucleosis and in students with minor illness shown to have acquired EB virus/IgG recently. Unlike the EB virus/IgG, the IgM disappears within a few months. Although the Paul-Bunnell-Davi...
متن کاملEncephalitis treatment – a case report with long-term follow-up of EBV PCR in cerebrospinal fluid
Background Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been found to cause infectious mononucleosis multiple times, but has been associated rarely with EBV encephalitis. Also, whenever it is diagnosed, it is always treated symptomatically. Case report A case of confirmed EBV encephalitis is presented, which was treated with antiviral therapy resulting in complete clearance of the virus in cerebrospinal flui...
متن کاملCommentary. EB virus, infectious mononucleosis, and cancer: the closing of the web.
The web of causation is closing in on EB virus in its relation to certain conditions. In heterophile positive infectious mononucleosis the web of causation seems established beyond any reasonable doubt (1-3). The evidence derived from prospective serological studies that EBV antibody is regularly absent prior to infectious mononucleosis and regularly appears during illness (4-7) is supported by...
