lymphocytic choriomeningitis

Pet rodents are not known to be natural reservoirs for lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.

Transplant-acquired lymphocytic choriomeningitis proves to have a very high morbidity and mortality rate.

He coined the name Lymphocytic choriomeningitis in 1934 after isolating the hitherto completely unknown virus.

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis is a particular concern in obstetrics, as vertical transmission is known to occur.

In May 2005, four solid-organ transplant recipients contracted an illness that was later diagnosed as lymphocytic choriomeningitis.

An example is lymphocytic choriomeningitis.

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis is not a commonly reported infection in humans though, most infections are mild and are often never diagnosed.

Old World arena viruses include lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, and Lassa virus.

As it turned out, the donor had passed along lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, a rare illness transmitted to humans from rodents like hamsters.

It shares this receptor with the prototypic Old World arenavirus lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus.

The scientist infected some of the animals with a relatively benign form of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus that primarily infects the helper T-cells.

Cases of lymphocytic choriomeningitis have been reported in North and South America, Europe, Australia, and Japan, particularly during the 1900s.

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV)

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM), is a rodent-borne viral infectious disease that presents as aseptic meningitis, encephalitis or meningoencephalitis.

Its causative agent is the Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV), a member of the family Arenaviridae.

Some of the diseases the house mouse carries can be deadly: for example, leptospirosis, murine typhus, rickettsialpox, tularemia, lymphocytic choriomeningitis and potentially bubonic plague.

The first arenavirus, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), was isolated in 1933 during a study of an epidemic of St. Louis encephalitis.

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) virus is the only Arenavirus to exist in both areas but is classified as an Old World virus.

Aseptic meningitis, a severe human disease that causes inflammation covering the brain and spinal cord, can arise from the Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) infection.

IL-21 (or IL-21R) knock-out mice infected with chronic LCMV (lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus) were not able to overcome chronic infection compared to normal mice.

The transplant recipients who died all received organs from a Rhode Island resident who owned a hamster that tested positive for the disease, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, or LCMV.

The fraternity members' sloppiness, Mr. Sasso said, risked exposing them and their neighbors, which include a day-care center, to lymphocytic choriomeningitis, a virus spread by rodents that can cause swelling of the brain.

Health officials in Rhode Island said a hamster owned by the donor, bought at a Petsmart store in Warwick, R.I., tested positive for the rodent disease, lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, or LCMV.

In most animals there was a more or less pronounced swelling, edema and lymphocytic infiltration of the choroid plexus,i.e. the cellular membrane lining the intracerebral ventricles, which led him to name the disease lymphocytic choriomeningitis.
