Epstein–Barr virus reactivation‐related meningoencephalitis with transverse myelitis in pregnancy

KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Consider the differential of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) reactivation in pregnant women who develop progressive meningoencephalitis and transverse myelitis. EBV nucleic acid amplification should be considered in immunosuppressed patients. ABSTRACT: A 32‐year‐old G10P6M3K22 pregnan...

Sumario:KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE: Consider the differential of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) reactivation in pregnant women who develop progressive meningoencephalitis and transverse myelitis. EBV nucleic acid amplification should be considered in immunosuppressed patients. ABSTRACT: A 32‐year‐old G10P6M3K22 pregnant female presented to a regional hospital with progressive severe neurological and behavioral deficits. Magnetic resonance revealed cervical transverse myelitis. Lumbar puncture confirmed Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) DNA on a background of IgG‐positive EBV serology. A diagnosis of EBV reactivation‐related meningoencephalitis with transverse myelitis in pregnancy was concluded.
