A boy with congenital hypogammaglobulinaemia died at the age of 12 years after a viral meningoencephalitis of two and a half years duration due to an untypable picornavirus. He had received intravenous immunoglobulin every four weeks from the time of the start of immunoglobulin replacement treatment at the age of 3 years. The encephalitis did not respond to high dose intravenous gammaglobulin (2500 g during 22 months). The virus could not be isolated during the administration of intraventricular immunoglobulin (38.15 g) and intraventricular recombinant alpha interferon (121 X 10(6) units), but recurred rapidly each time intraventricular treatment was stopped. Further modes of treatment are still required for prevention and treatment of this disorder.
一名患有先天性低丙种球蛋白血症的男孩,在患持续两年半的病毒性脑膜脑炎后,于12岁时死亡,该病毒性脑膜脑炎由一种无法分型的微小核糖核酸病毒引起。自3岁开始免疫球蛋白替代治疗起,他每四周接受一次静脉注射免疫球蛋白。高剂量静脉注射丙种球蛋白(22个月内共2500克)对该脑炎无效。在脑室内注射免疫球蛋白(38.15克)和脑室内注射重组α干扰素(121×10⁶单位)期间,病毒未能分离出来,但每次停止脑室内治疗后,病毒都会迅速复发。预防和治疗这种疾病仍需要进一步的治疗方式。
