Background: Neurological immune-related adverse events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors can have several clinical manifestations, but the syndromes and prognostic factors are still not well known. We aimed to characterise and group the clinical features, with a special focus in patients presenting with encephalopathy, and to identify predictors of response to therapy and survival.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included patients with neurological immune-related adverse events from 20 hospitals in Spain whose clinical information, serum samples, and CSF samples were studied at Hospital Clinic de Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.
Introduction: Pneumococcal meningitis is a condition associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality.
Case Report: We report the clinical case of a 41-year-old man who, following meningitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, developed subsequent complications such as thoracic transverse myelitis, which caused paralysis in the lower extremities, abolition of all sensory modalities and dysautonomic disorders, as well as an alteration of the anterior horn cells at the cervical level that produced paralysis in the upper extremities, but with preservation of sensibility. This implies the need for a differential diagnosis between what is known as 'poliomyelitis-like' disorder and acute disseminated encephalomyeloradiculitis.
