PrP Expression in B Lymphocytes Is Not Required for Prion Neuroinvasion

open access: yesNature Medicine, 1998
Prion diseases are typically initiated by infection of peripheral sites, as in the case of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, kuru and most cases of iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

Neuroinvasive chikungunya in a liver transplant recipient

Transplant Infectious Disease, 2021
AbstractThe influence of chronic immunosuppression on the course of chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection in recipients of solid organ transplantation (SOT) is still unsettled. Scarce data suggest that the course of CHIKV infection is generally benign in this population.

Apoptosis and rabies virus neuroinvasion

Biochimie, 2003
Rabies virus (RV) causes a non-lytic infection of neurons leading to a fatal myeloencephalitis in mammals including humans. By comparing the infection of the nervous system of mice by a highly pathogenic neuroinvasive strain of RV (CVS) and by a strain of attenuated pathogenicity (PV) with restricted brain invasion, we showed that RV neuroinvasiveness ...

EEG in WNV Neuroinvasive Disease

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2019
Purpose:Neuroinvasive West Nile virus (WNV) is rare, occurring in less than 1% of those infected, and may manifest as meningitis, encephalitis, and/or acute flaccid paralysis. Patients may present initially with nonspecific symptoms including fevers. Although rare, neuroinvasive WNV is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Neuroinvasive Listeriosis

The Neurologist, 2018
Introduction:Listeria monocytogenes–related central nervous system infections may involve the cerebral parenchyma. Meningitis and meningoencephalitis are the most commonly seen forms and mainly affect immunocompromised patients; however, a less frequent form, rhombencephalitis, can occur in otherwise healthy people.

B Lymphocytes and Neuroinvasion

Nature, 1997
How does consumption of meat products infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) lead to development of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD)? Studies of the brain, spleen and marrow of many immunodeficient mouse lines indicate that differentiated B lymphocytes are important for neuroinvasion.

Manifestations of West Nile neuroinvasive disease

Reviews in Medical Virology, 2006
Since its introduction to North America in 1999, West Nile virus, an arthropod-borne flavivirus, has become the most significant cause of epidemic encephalitis in the western hemisphere. While most human infections with the virus are asymptomatic and the majority of symptomatic persons experience febrile illness, severe neurologic manifestations ...

Critical West Nile Neuroinvasive Disease

Neurocritical Care, 2018
Data to guide neurointensivists seeing patients with West Nile Neuroinvasive disease (WNND) are lacking. We present a comparatively large series of patients with WNND admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and provide data on their early diagnosis, triage to the ICU and predictors of short-term outcomes.We retrospectively identified patients aged ...

Interfering with viral neuroinvasion

Science Signaling, 2015
Interferon-λ signaling tightens the blood-brain barrier, limiting West Nile virus infection of the central nervous system.

West Nile virus neuroinvasive disease

Annals of Neurology, 2006
AbstractSince 1999, there have been nearly 20,000 cases of confirmed symptomatic West Nile virus (WNV) infection in the United States, and it is likely that more than 1 million people have been infected by the virus. WNV is now the most common cause of epidemic viral encephalitis in the United States, and it will likely remain an important cause of ...
