We describe a fatal case of haemolytic uraemic syndrome in a young woman with AIDS, and disseminated adenovirus (ADV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) co-infection. We hypothesize that ADV/CMV co-infection may have a causative role in this clinical picture.
Infection of the central nervous system due to Listeria monocytogenes is uncommon. The treatment of choice is ampicillin. We describe in this report a case of rhombencephalitis caused by Listeria monocytogenes successfully treated with linezolid. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case in which linezolid was used to treat infection of the central nervous system caused by this organism.
To evaluate, for the first time, circulation and clinical expression of Toscana virus (ToSv) in Umbria region we studied: (1) 93 cases of aseptic meningitis and meningoencephalitis admitted to our Department from 1989 to 2001 with negative results for common neurotropic virus; (2) 50 healthy subjects. Specific antibodies (IgM and IgG) anti-TOSv were found in 36.6% of aseptic meningitis, in 6.06% of meningoencephalitis and (IgG) in 16% of healthy subjects.
