[Acute hemorrhagic leucoencephalitis during tuberculosis (author's transl)]. 1978

N Kopp, and R Groslambert, and B Pasquier, and G Dubost, and M Voog, and M Tommasi

The authors report a fairly typical clinico-pathological case of acute hemorragic leucoencephalitis (A.H.L.E.). Both clinical and histological features appeared particularly acute. At autopsy a visceral evolving tuberculosis was diagnosed. Such an etiological circumstance has not been, apparently, reported in cases of A.H.L.E. published as such. Three other etiological circumstances were noticed: pyuria, treatment by cephalotin and treatment by gentamycine. The physiopathogenesis of A.H.L.E. remains obscure and will not be clarified before detailed immunological studies can be performed. But the disease is rare and brisk and diagnosis usually post-mortem.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011776 Pyuria The presence of white blood cells (LEUKOCYTES) in the urine. It is often associated with bacterial infections of the urinary tract. Pyuria without BACTERIURIA can be caused by TUBERCULOSIS, stones, or cancer. Pyurias
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon

D004679 Encephalomyelitis A general term indicating inflammation of the BRAIN and SPINAL CORD, often used to indicate an infectious process, but also applicable to a variety of autoimmune and toxic-metabolic conditions. There is significant overlap regarding the usage of this term and ENCEPHALITIS in the literature. Myeloencephalitis,Encephalomyelitis, Inflammatory,Inflammatory Encephalomyelitis,Myeloencephalitides
D004684 Leukoencephalitis, Acute Hemorrhagic A fulminant and often fatal demyelinating disease of the brain which primarily affects young adults and children. Clinical features include the rapid onset of weakness, SEIZURES, and COMA. It may follow a viral illness or MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE infections but in most instances there is no precipitating event. Pathologic examination reveals marked perivascular demyelination and necrosis of white matter with microhemorrhages.
