“…Both cases offer intriguing insights into the possible neurological complications of the virus. For patient IAL-430/2017, their case report details the incidence of viral myelitis, a condition wherein the spinal cord becomes inflamed due to viral infections [ 34 ]. Historically, various viruses, including viruses from the Picornaviridae family, herpesviruses, and flaviviruses, have been identified as etiological agents for viral myelitis [ 34 , 35 , 36 ].…”

Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) methodology serves as an excellent supplement in cases where diagnosis is challenging to establish through conventional laboratory tests, and its usage is increasingly prevalent. Examining the causes of infectious diseases in the central nervous system (CNS) is vital for understanding their spread, managing outbreaks, and effective patient care. In a study conducted in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from 500 patients with CNS diseases of indeterminate etiology, collected between 2017 and 2021, were analyzed. Employing a mNGS approach, we obtained the complete coding sequence of Pegivirus hominis (HPgV) genotype 2 in a sample from a patient with encephalitis (named IAL-425/BRA/SP/2019); no other pathogen was detected. Subsequently, to determine the extent of this virus’s presence, both polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and/or real-time PCR assays were utilized on the entire collection. The presence of the virus was identified in 4.0% of the samples analyzed. This research constitutes the first report of HPgV detection in CSF samples in South America. Analysis of the IAL-425 genome (9107 nt) revealed a 90% nucleotide identity with HPgV strains from various countries. Evolutionary analyses suggest that HPgV is both endemic and extensively distributed. The direct involvement of HPgV in CNS infections in these patients remains uncertain.

“…Both TM and LETM are rare presentations of neurotuberculosis, but TM is more related to this diagnosis than LETM, especially when associated to cerebral or systemic disseminated disease. On the other hand, LETM is more related to autoimmune diseases, such as neuromyelitis Optica spectrum disorders [ 76 ].…”

“…Spinal intramedullary tuberculoma occurs in 2: 100,000 cases of tuberculosis and in 2 % of all cases of neurotuberculosis, appearing as a thickened spinal cord with oval lesions. The lesions demonstrate low signal in T1 images, with a “target sign” on T2 images and an irregular peripheric enhancement after contrast administration [ 76 ].…”
