Abstract

A 34-year-old woman was admitted to a hospital when she became confused and began experiencing visual problems. She had many features of dementia and could not use her left side. An MRI scan did not reveal a tumor but did show disease of the white matter of the brain. Analysis of a brain biopsy revealed that she had a brain inflammation called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis. This is often a complication of measles, and antibodies against the measles virus were found in her blood and cerebrospinal fluid. She was treated with injections of interferon alpha-2b.
