Association of Cytomegalovirus Infection with Lenticulostriate Stroke After Mild Head Trauma in Young Children
In this study, we explored the association of a recent viral infection with the development of infantile lenticulostriate stroke with lenticulostriate calcification following mild head trauma in children. We examined the records for 49 children (<36 months old) diagnosed with infantile stroke following mild head trauma at the First Hospital of Jilin University between January 2007 and August 2019. The demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, and laboratory and imaging results were collected and analyzed. Antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus, herpes simplex virus, and cytomegalovirus in the patient sera wer...

GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR ANTIBODIES IN NEUROLOGICAL DISEASES: Anti-AMPA-GluR3 antibodies, Anti-NMDA-NR1 antibodies, Anti-NMDA-NR2A/B antibodies, Anti-mGluR1 antibodies or Anti-mGluR5 antibodies are present in subpopulations of patients with either: Epilepsy, Encephalitis, Cerebellar Ataxia, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Neuropsychiatric SLE, Sjogren's syndrome, Schizophrenia, Mania or Stroke. These autoimmune anti-glutamate receptor antibodies can bind neurons in few brain regions, activate glutamate receptors, decrease glutamate receptor's expression, impair glutamate-induced signaling and function, activate Blood Brain Barrier endothelial cells, kill neurons, damage the brain, induce behavioral/psychiatric/cognitive abnormalities and Ataxia in animal models, and can be removed or silenced in some patients by immunotherapy.
Abstract Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter of the Central Nervous System (CNS), and it is crucially needed for numerous key neuronal functions. Yet, excess glutamate causes massive neuronal death and brain damage by excitotoxicity-detrimental over activation of glutamate receptors. Glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity is the main pathological process taking place in many types of acute and chronic CNS diseases and injuries. In recent years, it became clear that not only excess glutamate can cause massive brain damage, but that several types of anti-glutamate receptor antibodies, that are present in ...

Herpes simplex virus encephalitis mimicking acute ischemic stroke
CONCLUSION: HSV infections may mimic stroke and therefore should be included in the differential diagnosis of atypical acute nervous conditions. In neurological events of acute nature, especially in febrile patients whose brain imaging is suspicious or inconclusive, the eventuality of a herpetic encephalitis should be kept in mind. This will lead to a prompt antiviral therapy and to a favorable outcome.PMID:36895212 | PMC:PMC9990771 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_1123_2022

Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome mimicking herpes simplex encephalitis: A case report
Radiol Case Rep. 2022 May 8;17(7):2428-2431. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2022.04.019. eCollection 2022 Jul.ABSTRACTMitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome presents with the features of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE), which is rare and has been described in only a few case reports. Our case describes a 17-year-old female with no significant previous medical history presenting with an acute onset of fever, headache, and epilepsy, similar to HSE. Computed tomography of the brain showed bilateral basal ganglia calcification. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated gyriform...

Herpes Simplex Virus Meningoencephalitis Masquerading as Acute Stroke With Broca's Aphasia: A Case Report
This report highlights the importance of considering herpes encephalitis as a potential etiology in patients presenting with atypical neurological symptoms, even in the absence of typical radiological findings. Early diagnosis and appropriate management with acyclovir are crucial in improving outcomes in such cases.PMID:37476130 | PMC:PMC10354683 | DOI:10.7759/cureus.40618

Antibodies to Human Herpesviruses and Rate of Incident Cardiovascular Events and All-Cause Mortality in the UK Biobank Infectious Disease Pilot Study
CONCLUSIONS: In this mostly White UK Biobank subset, neither HHV seropositivity nor titers were associated with stroke/MI or all-cause mortality.PMID:35873304 | PMC:PMC9301583 | DOI:10.1093/ofid/ofac294

Intracranial Large Artery Stenosis and Past Infectious Exposures: Results From the NOMAS Cohort
CONCLUSIONS: Chronic infectious exposures, specifically herpes simplex virus 2 and cytomegalovirus were associated with asymptomatic ILAS as seen on magnetic resonance angiogram imaging. This may represent an additional target of intervention in the ongoing effort to stem the substantial global burden of strokes related to ILAS.PMID:35105181 | DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.121.036793
