Myelitis associated with influenza a virus infection

Abstract: We report a patient presenting with myelitis after respiratory symptoms. A high level of antibodies to influenza A virus was measured in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and the serum/CSF antibody ratio was 1.7, suggesting specific antibody production in the central nervous system. Magnetic resonance imaging of the spinal canal showed a contrast-enhanced swelling on the cervical medulla. Such a case would have warranted the use of antiviral therapy and calls to mind the neurotropic potential of influenza A… Show more

“…To study the kinetics of naive CD8 T cell recruitment to influenza virus-infected sites, 10 5 naive CFSE-labeled CD45.1 TCR transgenic OT-I cells (specific for the SIINFEKL peptide derived from ovalbumin [OVA]) were adoptively transferred into CD45.2 C57BL/6 mice. The mice were then intranasally (i.n.)…”

“…6,7 In rare reports of patients with transverse myelitis and acute necrotizing encephalitis in which influenza-specific antibodies in cerebrospinal fluid were detected, their presence was thought to reflect direct infection. 8,9 Together, the absence of pH1N1 RNA and antibodies in our patient's cerebrospinal fluid make it unlikely that direct parenchymal infection contributed to her neurological deterioration.…”
