Lymphocytic choriomeningitis, Armstrong-Lilli virusAbstract
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus is one of the cause of neurologic diseases in humans. People acquire the LCMV disease when they come into contact with the secretions of infected mice. Usually, the LCMV infection is asymptomatic or present as a non-specific febrile disease. However, in some cases it can progress to meningitis or meningoencephalitis. We present a case report of a 62-year-old female with serologically verified lymphocytic choriomeningitis.
