An immunocompetent adult developed cytomegalovirus (CMV) meningoencephalitis with paroxysmal neurologic symptoms of a self-limited nature and with a favourable outcome. Consistent with known cases in the clinical literature, two clinical forms of CMV meningoencephalitis will be identified: a monophasic form and a paroxysmal form. The clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of the two types will be analysed, and a pathogenetic hypothesis for the paroxysmal type will be proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
