Consider the differential of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) reactivation in pregnant women who develop progressive meningoencephalitis and transverse myelitis. EBV nucleic acid amplification should be considered in immunosuppressed patients.
A 32-year-old G10P6M3K22 pregnant female presented to a regional hospital with progressive severe neurological and behavioral deficits. Magnetic resonance revealed cervical transverse myelitis. Lumbar puncture confirmed Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA on a background of IgG-positive EBV serology. A diagnosis of EBV reactivation-related meningoencephalitis with transverse myelitis in pregnancy was concluded.
对于出现进行性脑膜脑炎和横贯性脊髓炎的孕妇,应考虑爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)再激活的鉴别诊断。免疫抑制患者应考虑进行EBV核酸扩增检测。
一名32岁、孕10产6流3存2的孕妇因进行性严重神经和行为缺陷就诊于一家地区医院。磁共振成像显示颈髓横贯性脊髓炎。腰椎穿刺在IgG阳性的EBV血清学背景下证实了EBV DNA。最终诊断为妊娠合并EBV再激活相关的脑膜脑炎伴横贯性脊髓炎。
