Zika virus (ZIKV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), and dengue virus (DENV) have been associated with clinical presentations that involve acute neurological complaints. In the current study, we identified ZIKV, CHIKV, and DENV in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from patients admitted to the Hospital Luis Vernaza (Guayaquil, Ecuador) to the Emergency Room or the Intensive Care Unit, with neurological symptoms and/or concern for acute arboviral infections. Viral RNA from one or more virus was detected in 12/16 patients. Six patients were diagnosed with meningitis or encephalitis, three with Guillain-Barré Syndrome, and one with CNS vasculitis. Two additional patients had a systemic febrile illness including headache that prompted testing of CSF. Two patients, who were diagnosed with encephalitis and meningoencephalitis, died during their hospitalizations. These cases demonstrate the breadth and significance of neurological manifestations associated with ZIKV, CHIKV, and DENV infections.
寨卡病毒(ZIKV)、基孔肯雅病毒(CHIKV)和登革病毒(DENV)与涉及急性神经症状的临床表现有关。在本研究中,我们在路易斯·韦尔纳扎医院(厄瓜多尔瓜亚基尔)急诊室或重症监护病房收治的、有神经症状和/或疑似急性虫媒病毒感染的患者的脑脊液(CSF)样本中鉴定出了ZIKV、CHIKV和DENV。16名患者中有12名检测到一种或多种病毒的病毒RNA。6名患者被诊断为脑膜炎或脑炎,3名患有吉兰-巴雷综合征,1名患有中枢神经系统血管炎。另外两名患者患有包括头痛在内的全身性发热疾病,这促使对其脑脊液进行检测。两名被诊断为脑炎和脑膜脑炎的患者在住院期间死亡。这些病例证明了与ZIKV、CHIKV和DENV感染相关的神经表现的广度和重要性。
