    A patient with demyelinating neuropathy and central nervous system disease showed atypical macrophages. This rare presentation, possibly triggered by vaccinations, mimicked multiple sclerosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroimmunology
    • Neuropathology

    Background:

    • Demyelinating diseases affect the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system.
    • Inflammatory demyelinating conditions present with diverse clinical and pathological features.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with concurrent demyelinating peripheral neuropathy and central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating disease.
    • Pathological examination revealed dense infiltrates of atypical macrophages in the brain.
    • The clinical and pathological features shared similarities with multiple sclerosis and experimental allergic encephalomyelitis.

    Findings:

    • The patient's illness onset followed "swine-flu" inoculation.
    • A subsequent pneumococcal vaccination led to disease exacerbation.
    • Atypical macrophages represent an unusual pathological finding in this context.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights a rare presentation of demyelinating disease with unique neuropathological features.
    • The potential role of antecedent vaccinations in triggering or exacerbating such neurological conditions warrants further investigation.
    • Understanding atypical macrophage involvement may offer new insights into the pathogenesis of inflammatory demyelinating disorders.
