Abstract

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) is an often-overlooked cause for viral meningitis but can have severe consequences in certain clinical situations. We present the first documented infection by LCMV in Israel. The epidemiology of LCMV is evolving with a potential for a worldwide endemicity due to the widespread presence of the natural host. Increased awareness and testing are required to identify this virus and screening of certain populations (e.g., organ donors) should be considered.

摘要

淋巴细胞性脉络丛脑膜炎病毒（LCMV）是一种常被忽视的病毒性脑膜炎病因，但在某些临床情况下可能会产生严重后果。我们报告了在以色列首例有记录的 LCMV 感染。由于其自然宿主的广泛存在，LCMV 的流行病学正在演变，具有潜在的全球流行趋势。需要提高认识并进行检测以识别这种病毒，并应考虑对某些人群（例如器官捐献者）进行筛查。
