Neurologic complications in three girls, aged four, fourteen and fifteen years, with infectious mononucleosis are reported. All three patients had meningoencephalitis, in two of them cerebellar involvement predominated, while the third patient had cerebral involvement with paresis of cerebral nerves. The diagnosis of an Epstein-Barr virus infection was established serologiccally and in the first patient also by the detection of the Epstein-Barr virus.

From 1969 to 1972 1,080 patients admitted with a diagnosis of viral meningoencephalitis were treated at the Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Prague-Bulovka. In 633 of these patients tick-borne encephalitis could be detected serologically. The epidemiological conditions and the clinical course of the disease are described. Paresis of the extremities and the cranial nerves occurred in 12.8% of the patients; the outcome was fatal in 0.8%. Treatment in hospital usually lasted 3 to 4 weeks and patients were unfit for work for a further 6 to 10 weeks after dismissal.

Eight vaccinated dogs suddenly developed progressive ataxia, paresis or paralysis of short duration. A histopathological examination revealed a non-suppurative meningoencephalitis suggestive of a viral infection, and immunohistochemical examination confirmed the presence of canine distemper virus antigen in five of the dogs. Distemper had not been suspected from the clinical examination of the dogs.

In 1986 in the CSR 978 cases of acute meningoencephalitis were notified, incl. 184 in the capital. In a group of 129 patients aged 1 to 63 years hospitalized at the First Clinic for Infectious Diseases in Prague-Bulovka (Paediatric Faculty Charles University) in 1986 the authors investigated the clinical course of acute meningoencephalitis in relation to the causal agent of the disease. The aetiological agent was assessed by isolation from cerebrospinal fluid or by isolation from faeces with the corresponding antibody response, or by serological examination only. In children under 15 years of age the etiological agent was assessed in 36%, in adults in 65%. In the investigated group, contrary to previous years (3), tick-borne encephalitis was involved which accounted for the majority of severe cases of the disease. The severe clinical course, manifested at first by symptoms of cerebral oedema with impaired consciousness, is more frequent with advancing age. In adults tick-borne encephalitis had a severe course in one third of the patients. In the other age groups the development was favourable, in particular in the group of children aged 4-10 years. As compared with previous years, there was no fatal case, no permanent paresis as a complication of the disease (2).

In this retrospective study the case reports of 165 patients suffering from an abducens nerve palsy as the main presenting symptom were evaluated. The sixth nerve palsy was more frequent on the left (52%) than on the right hand side (38%), in 10% there was bilateral involvement. In 49 cases a vascular origin was suspected (29.7%), with diabetes mellitus as the most important risk factor (n = 35). Abducens palsies in inflammatory diseases (n = 32, 19.4%) were seen most often in multiple sclerosis (n = 11), viral meningoencephalitis (n = 5) and accompanying systemic viral infections (n = 5). Postvaccinal paresis was seldom (n = 1). Tumours (n = 18, 10.9%) causing sixth nerve paresis were metastases to the brain (n = 7), meningiomas (n = 3) and glioblastomas (n = 2). Nasopharyngeal carcinomas lead in 4 cases to an involvement of the abducens. Aneurysms causing sixth nerve palsy (n = 7, 4.2%) most frequent being located at the intracavernous region of the internal carotid artery (n = 4). In traumatic abducens paresis (n = 5, 3.1%) pathological findings of neuroradiological examinations are rare. In 48 patients (29.1%) diagnosis remained unclear, especially in young adults between the 20th and 40th year of age. Prognosis of abducens paresis is good in lesions of vascular and unknown origin; in these cases non-steroidal antiphlogistics are of benefit.

This article describes the general and specific interpretations of common laboratory tests used to evaluate bovine neurologic disease. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis is emphasized. Comments are made about general conclusions such as hemorrhage, inflammation, infection, and neoplasia as well as specific diseases like thromboembolic meningoencephalitis. Tests in commonly available serum chemistry profiles like total calcium concentration and aspartate aminotransferase activity are described in terms of their usefulness in diseases such as parturient paresis or hepatic encephalopathy. The indications for more specific tests like ionized calcium, blood ammonia concentration, or erythrocyte transketolase are included.

Clinical differences were determined between granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis, distemper, and suppurative meningoencephalitis in the dog. Dogs with granulomatous meningoencephalomyelitis had "head" signs on examination, which progressed to profound caudal fossa abnormalities, changes in mental status, and tetraparesis. Dogs with distemper had a gradual onset of posterior paresis; tetraparesis and occasional vestibular signs developed later in the course of disease. Dogs with suppurative meningoencephalitis had lethargy and anorexia at the time of examination, which progressed to nuchal rigidity, mental depression, tetraparesis, and profound alterations in consciousness. Analysis of cerebral spinal fluid was useful in distinguishing suppurative meningoencephalitis from the other 2 diseases. Twenty-seven cases of inflammatory disease of the CNS in dogs were reviewed. Comparisons of history, results of physical and neurologic examinations, ancillary data, and response to treatment were made. It appeared that certain clinical and neurologic features contributed to the diagnosis of these diseases.

Nine feedlot cattle showed clinical signs consistent with those expected in thromboembolic meningoencephalitis. These signs included pyrexia, ataxia, posterior paresis, paralysis and coma. Brown necrotic foci with haemorrhagic borders were observed in the brains of three animals that had died. In these foci vasculitis, thrombosis, infarction and neutrophil infiltration were observed during microscopical examination. Haemophilus somnus was isolated in pure culture from the brains.

Ninety outbred white adult female mice were infected with Trypanosoma brucei gambiense (GUMS 2, alias LUMP 1237) originating from a Zairian patient and known to produce a low parasitaemia in rodents. The development of cerebral trypanosomiasis was independent upon the number of parasites inoculated per mouse. Trypanosomes appeared in the circulating blood about four months after infection, when some mice started to show the first signs of paresis which subsequently led to cachexia. A clinical test to stage such a development is described. 57 mice were sacrificed at various intervals after infection, starting from one to 22 months. The morphological changes in the brain consisted of a diffuse meningoencephalitis in 45 mice, (78.9%) often associated with parasites, the latter being best visualised in 21 mice (36.8%) by immunofluorescence using a specific antitrypanosome antibody. The trypanosomes showed a predominantly extravascular distribution in the cerebral parenchyma, to a lesser extent in the meninges and only rarely in the choroid plexuses. Deposits of immunoglobulins in the choroid plexuses and cerebral infiltrations by plasma cells were mild. The level of circulating immune complexes was found to be increased. Adequate intravenous Melarsoprol did not prevent the disease from progressing to advanced stages, and there is limited morphological evidence that it did not eradicate the parasite from the host. The immunofluorescent use of an antitrypanosome antibody to demonstrate the persistence of tissue parasites after chemotherapy is recommended. Murine models seem therefore to be suitable for drug screening in cerebral trypanosomiasis since all three trypanosomes of the brucei group can be adapted to mice.

A patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma who was previously treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy was seen with intestinal pseudoobstruction due to paralytic ileus associated with herpes zoster (varicella zoster) infection. The infection was accompanied by a polydermatomal rash with typical morphologic characteristics, followed by cutaneous dissemination and the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH), as well as myotomal paresis. The diagnosis was supported by cytology and by culture of the virus from the CSF. The isolation of the virus from the CSF, coupled with abnormalities of the patient's mental status and CSF, indicate that meningoencephalitis occurred and probably accounted for the SIADH. The patient had a spontaneous and complete recovery. To our knowledge, this is the first report of SIADH associated with herpes zoster infection.
