Scrub Typhus Meningoencephalitis Presenting as Generalized Convulsive Status Epilepticus with Basal Ganglia and Extra-limbic Cortical Involvement, Complicated by Cortical Multifocal Myoclonus.

Background: Scrub typhus is an acute febrile infectious disease highly prevalent in the Asia Pacific region, often referred to as the "tsutsugamushi triangle." This mite-borne rickettsial zoonosis is caused by , an intracellular Gram-negative organism that primarily targets endothelial cells. The resulting vasculitis leads to multisystem involvement.

Challenging Neurological Presentation: Scrub Typhus with Meningoencephalitis and Multiple Cranial Nerve Involvement.

A 40-year-old male farmer from rural West Bengal, India, presented with fever, headaches, seizure, eschar, and palsy of left cranial nerves VII, VIII, IX, and X as a rare clinical manifestation of scrub typhus. Positive IgM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay tests in serum and cerebrospinal fluid confirmed the diagnosis, with brain magnetic resonance imaging showing meningoencephalitis findings. Treatment with steroids and doxycycline led to neurological improvement.

Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Following Scrub Typhus Infection: A Case Report and a Review of the Literature.

Neurological manifestations of scrub typhus, a re-emerging infectious disease of tropic/subtropics caused by infection, have been ever-evolving. Several central nervous system infections have been acknowledged for the development of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVT). Nevertheless, CVT has been a rarely described addendum to the ever-evolving "neuro-scrub" spectrum.

Lance-Adams syndrome: An unusual complication of snakebite envenomation.

Neuroparalytic snakebite envenomation is common in tropics and sub-tropics. The clinical history is sometimes unclear and misleading, leading to delay in diagnosis and initiation of life-saving treatments. It often gets so delayed that the patient may end up in neuromuscular respiratory failure.

De Novo Movement Disorders and COVID-19: Exploring the Interface.

Background: Neurological manifestations of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are being widely documented. However, movement disorders in the setting of 2019 coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) have been a strikingly less discussed topic.

Objectives: To summarize available pieces of evidence documenting de novo movement disorders in COVID-19.

Clinical spectrum of dengue fever in a tertiary care centre with particular reference to atypical presentation in the 2012 outbreak in Kolkata.

During the summer of 2012, dengue fever epidemic has emerged in Kolkata and spread throughout West Bengal. During the epidemic period, wide spectrum of atypical presentations of dengue fever has been observed. Here, in this study, the spectrum of dengue fever was analysed in 300 patients who were found to have dengue serology positive (NS1, IgM, IgG).
