Case report: Fatal Borna virus encephalitis manifesting with basal brain and brainstem symptoms. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The text discusses the rise in cases of Borna virus-1 (BoDV-1) encephalitis since 2018, highlighting the absence of a diagnostic algorithm and effective treatments.
  • It presents a case of a 77-year-old woman who developed severe neurological symptoms after a flu-like illness, ultimately leading to her death despite extensive testing and treatment attempts.
  • The conclusion emphasizes the difficulty in diagnosing BoDV-1 encephalitis early and proposes a new diagnostic algorithm along with a review of ineffective treatment options for future cases.

Article Abstract

Background: Since the first report of fatal Borna virus-1 (BoDV-1) encephalitis in 2018, cases gradually increased. There is a lack of diagnostic algorithm, and there is no effective treatment so far.

Case Presentation: We report an acute BoDV-1 encephalitis in a 77-year-old female with flu-like onset, rapid progression to word-finding difficulties, personality changes, global disorientation, diffuse cognitive slowness, and gait ataxia and further deterioration with fever, meningism, severe hyponatremia, epileptic seizures, cognitive decline, and focal cortical and cerebellar symptoms/signs. The extensive diagnostic workup (cerebrovascular fluid, serum, and MRI) for (meningo-)encephalitis was negative for known causes. Our empirical common antiviral, antimicrobial, and immunosuppressive treatment efforts failed. The patient fell into coma 5 days after admission, lost all brainstem reflexes on day 18, remained fully dependent on invasive mechanical ventilation thereafter and died on day 42. Brain and spinal cord autopsy confirmed an extensive, diffuse, and severe non-purulent, lymphocytic sclerosing panencephalomyelitis due to BoDV-1, affecting neocortical, subcortical, cerebellar, neurohypophysis, and spinal cord areas. Along with our case, we critically reviewed all reported BoDV-1 encephalitis cases.

Conclusion: The diagnosis of acute BoDV-1 encephalitis is challenging and delayed, while it progresses to fatal. In this study, we list all tried and failed treatments so far for future reference and propose a diagnostic algorithm for prompt suspicion and diagnosis.
