Pathological Cerebrospinal Fluid Findings in Patients With Neuralgic Amyotrophy and Acute Hepatitis E Virus Infection.

There is growing evidence that hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection can present with extrahepatic manifestations including neurological disorders.

Acute HEV infection was found in NA patients only and was associated with an inflammatory response in the central nervous system. Shedding of HEV RNA into the cerebrospinal fluid and intrathecal production of anti-HEV immunoglobulin M occurred in 1 patient, suggesting that HEV is neurotropic.
