Article Synopsis
- MERS is a mild brain inflammation condition that can be linked to various pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, but this is the first case of MERS associated with RSV in an adult.
- A 29-year-old Chinese woman exhibited symptoms like fever and altered mental state, with tests confirming RSV infection; brain imaging revealed abnormalities which improved after treatment.
- This case highlights the need to consider MERS as a potential diagnosis in patients with respiratory infections who show neurological symptoms.

BMC Neurol
September 2024
Department of Oncology, Tianjin Union Medical Center, Nankai University, Tianjin, China.
Article Synopsis
- - Reversible splenial lesion syndrome (RESLES) is a neuro-imaging condition characterized by temporary lesions in the corpus callosum, often presenting with mild brain symptoms but showing up clearly on brain imaging; it's rarely discussed in cancer contexts.
- - A 33-year-old woman with breast cancer experienced high fever and severe headaches following radiation therapy, leading to a diagnosis of RESLES after blood tests indicated low white blood cell counts and MRI suggested the syndrome rather than infection or metastasis.
- - The case emphasizes the need for oncologists to accurately interpret brain imaging and consider RESLES in post-radiotherapy patients, indicating that the syndrome has various causes and requires further investigation into its underlying mechanisms.
