  • Title: An autopsy case of necrotizing ventriculo-encephalitis caused by cytomegalovirus in Hodgkin's disease.
    Author: Suzumiya J, Marutsuka K, Ueda S, Uno H, Eizuru Y, Sumiyoshi A.
    Journal: Acta Pathol Jpn; 1991 Apr; 41(4):291-8. PubMed ID: 1650518.
    Abstract:
    A 59-year-old Japanese woman with Hodgkin's disease developed progressive dementia and died of pneumonia. The autopsy revealed necrotizing ventriculo-encephalitis caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection, which was confirmed by immunohistochemical and electron microscopic examinations. It is suggested that CMV ventriculo-encephalitis could occur not only in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, but also in other immunocompromised hosts.
