Echovirus meningomyeloencephalitis with administration of intrathecal immunoglobulin. 1985

M G Hadfield, and M Seidlin, and S A Houff, and C F Adair, and S M Markowitz, and S E Straus

Echovirus meningomyeloencephalitis was treated with cerebral intraventricular immunoglobulin. This case includes a complete examination of the central nervous system (CNS) supported by viral culture studies, immunoperoxidase staining and electron microscopy. Neuronal loss was most severe in the cerebellum and spinal cord. This may lead to the ataxia and a poliomyelitis-like syndrome often seen in cases of echovirus meningomyeloencephalitis. Focal encephalitic lesions, antigen-antibody reactions and live virus were found at numerous levels of the CNS in spite of intrathecal and intravenous immunoglobulin therapy. This mode of therapy and the electron microscopic features noted in echovirus infections are discussed.
