Abstract

This is a case report of a 54-year-old male, who was admitted twice with transient ischaemic attacks and eventually stroke due to cerebral vasculitis because of an underlying borrelial infection. He did not have any preceding symptoms of neuroborreliosis (Bannwarth syndrome) or erythema migrans. This report underlines the importance of performing a broad neurological evaluation of patients, who present with atypical neurological symptoms.

Abstract

Reactivation of varicella zoster virus occurs more often in the elderly or immunocompromised persons. During pregnancy increased anti-inflammatory cellular response promotes tolerance of foetal antigens. Post-partum a shift towards an inflammatory response may facilitate the reoccurrence of latent infections. Varicella-associated vasculitis can lead to ischaemic lesions in the brain. We report a case of a two-month post-partum woman suffering from headache, nausea, vomiting, photophobia and radicular pain with varicella zoster meningitis and an ischaemic lesion in the splenium of corpus callosum.
