Mumps meningoencephalitis; a clinical review of 119 cases with one death.

Mumps is one of the most common viruses to affect the central nervous system and should be given primary consideration in the differential diagnosis of aseptic meningitis. Many cases of numps infection do not involve the salivary glands. The course of numps meningoencephalitis is usually benign, with fever and signs of meningeal irritation lasting less than five days. The findings in the cerebrospinal fluid are usually distinctive, with leukocyte content greater than 200 per milliliter, of which 80 per cent or more are lymphocytes. Sequelae, even of a minor nature, are rare. Death is extremely rare in recorded literature. A fatal case of numps meningoencephalitis is described herein.

Western equine encephalitis in infants; a report on three cases with sequelae.

Approximately one-third of the laboratory-confirmed cases of Western equine encephalitis occur in children under the age of 10. The present paper describes three instances of Western equine encephalomyelitis virus infection in infants under one year of age, together with the resultant sequelae. The difficulties associated with diagnosis of central nervous system disturbances in very young children are discussed, and it is pointed out that in view of the frequent occurrence of clinical infections with the arthropod-borne encephalitis viruses these agents should be given serious consideration as a cause of acute central nervous system infection in childhood and as the possible etiology for obscure, severe neurological disturbances in the pediatric age groups.

Diphtheria: the present-day problem.

The importance of diphtheria today is made evident not only by the continued frequency of its occurrence but also by its tendency to attack the older adult population. The high mortality and complication rate can be attributed in part to this shift in age incidence, as well as to delayed recognition and treatment.
