Meningitis caused by
lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus in a patient with leukemia.
All four organ recipients subsequently were found to have evidence of infection with
lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), a rodent-borne Old World arenavirus.
Serum samples were tested for IgG against WWAV, Amapan virus (AMAV), an arenavirus that is antigenically closely related to the Tacaribe serocomplex viruses known to cause hemorrhagic fever (4), and
lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), the prototypical arenavirus and member of the Lassa-lymphocytic choriomeningitis serocomplex, by using an ELISA.
Additional serologic tests found no significant reactions to other arthropodborne and zoonotic pathogens, including New World arenaviruses,
lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, hantaviruses, other Bunyaviridae, Filoviridae, Flaviviridae, Rhabdoviridae, Togaviridae, spotted-fever-group and typhus-group rickettsia, Ehrlichia chaffeensis, and Coxiella burnetii.
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), a rodentborne arenavirus, is a rare, zoonotic cause of aseptic meningitis in Europe and North America.
