Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLa Crosse virus (LACV) is an arthropod-borne RNA virus with substantial potential for future spread in North America. La Crosse virus is responsible for La Crosse encephalitis, a leading cause of arboviral encephalitis in children in the United States. Primarily transmitted by Aedes triseriatus (Eastern treehole) mosquitos and amplified by small mammal hosts, LACV has caused infections throughout the upper Midwest and, more recently, the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States. Notably, in recent years, infections have ...

Evaluation of metagenomic and pathogen-targeted next-generation sequencing for diagnosis of meningitis and encephalitis in adults: A multicenter prospective observational cohort study in China
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) might aid in identification of causal pathogens. However, the optimal approaches applied to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for detection are unclear, and studies evaluating application of different NGS workflows for diagnosis of intracranial infections are limited.

Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate Receptor Encephalitis in People Living with HIV: Case Report and Literature Review
AbstractWith the increase in the number of cases of autoimmune encephalitis (AE), the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of people living with HIV (PLWH) showing abnormal behavior, cognitive impairment or abnormal movements should be actively screened for the antibody panel of AE. Early recognition and treatment can prevent severe seizures or coma and markedly improve the prognosis of patients. The first-line immunotherapy for AE includes intravenous methylprednisolone and immunoglobulin. However, whether long-time immunosuppressive maintenance therapy is needed is debated. For PLWH, immunosuppressive therapy and even steroids coul...

Phylogenetic analysis of small ruminant lentiviruses in Mongolian sheep supports an ancient east-west split for the genotype A
AbstractThe ovine maedi-visna virus (MVV) and caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus (CAEV) are small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) with striking genetic and structural similarities. The presence of SRLV in Mongolian sheep and goats was serologically demonstrated more than a decade ago; however, the viral genotype remains unknown. In total, 329 blood samples were collected from two sheep breeds (i.e., Khalkha and Sumber) in Tov, Govisumber, Arkhangay, Dornogovi, Zavkhan, and Sukhbaatar provinces, Mongolia. Serological and phylogenetic analyses were performed regardless of any apparent clinical signs, although most of the ani...

Characteristics, management and outcome of Herpes Simplex and Varicella-Zoster virus encephalitis: a multicenter prospective cohort study
CONCLUSION: HSVE and VZVE are distinct in clinical presentation, outcome, and prognostic factors. The impact of early ACV initiation was more apparent for HSVE than for VZVE, however, this could be due to VZVE smaller sample size and lower outcome rate leading to low statistical power, or due to potential distinct IE pathophysiology.PMID:38527616 | DOI:10.1016/j.cmi.2024.03.017 (Source: Herpes)
