Viral Meningitis01:18

Viral Meningitis

199
Viral meningitis is the most common form of meningitis and is often referred to as aseptic meningitis to indicate the absence of bacterial involvement. It is generally milder than bacterial meningitis, with symptoms including fever, headache, stiff neck, drowsiness, nausea, photophobia, and vomiting. Rarely, more severe manifestations or death may occur. Common causative agents include enteroviruses, particularly coxsackie A and B viruses and echoviruses, all members of the Enterovirus genus...

Arboviral Encephalitis01:25

Arboviral Encephalitis

59
Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...

Cytomegalovirus Disease

102
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is caused by human cytomegalovirus, a double-stranded DNA virus of the Herpesviridae family. While primary CMV infection is often asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals, the virus can cause severe disease in neonates and immunocompromised patients. CMV is the most common cause of congenital viral infection in the United States, and a major pathogen in solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients.CMV is transmitted via bodily fluids, sexual...

Encephalitis l: Introduction

15
Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain parenchyma, most often due to infections or autoimmune processes. It presents with neuropsychiatric features such as fever, altered mental status, behavioral changes, cognitive dysfunction, seizures, focal deficits, and sometimes autonomic instability. In some cases, the meninges are also involved, resulting in meningoencephalitis.Infectious CausesInfectious encephalitis is most commonly viral but can also result from bacterial, fungal, or parasitic...

Encephalitis ll: Pathophysiology

22
Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain parenchyma caused by direct viral invasion or immune-mediated mechanisms triggered by infections or tumors. Both processes lead to neuronal injury, disrupted neurotransmission, and diverse neurological symptoms, often with overlapping clinical and pathological features.Autoimmune EncephalitisIn autoimmune encephalitis, antibodies target neuronal antigens on cell surfaces, synapses, or within neurons. A key example is anti-NMDAR encephalitis, which can...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimmunology
  • Vaccinology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate (Anti-NMDA) receptor encephalitis is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder.
  • While vaccines are crucial for disease prevention, they can rarely cause adverse events, including Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.
  • Previous research has linked various vaccines to Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, with emerging reports suggesting a connection to the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the potential association between human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and Anti-N-methyl-d-aspartate (Anti-NMDA) receptor encephalitis.
  • To explore the underlying mechanisms by examining microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers associated with HPV vaccination and Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.
  • Utilizing phylogenetic tree and distance similarity analyses to compare miRNA biomarker relationships.

Main Results:

  • A significant similarity was observed between miRNA biomarkers linked to HPV and those associated with Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis or related vaccines.
  • This suggests a potential, albeit low, risk of HPV vaccination triggering Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis.

Conclusions:

  • The findings indicate that a link between Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis and HPV vaccination cannot be excluded.
  • Clinicians should consider Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis in patients with neurological or psychiatric symptoms post-HPV vaccination, after ruling out other causes.
