Popis | In 2006, a 26-year-old woman presented with tender cervical and retroauricular lymphadenopathy accompanied by fever, lower limb paraparesis, skin rash and generalized myalgia. Her past medical history was unremarkable. Full blood count and renal and hepatic profi les were within normal ranges, with the exception of mild lactate dehydrogenase elevation (237 U/L). Microbiological and radiological screening revealed no infectious etiology, and immunological fi ndings were negative or normal. In contrast to increased C-reactive protein levels (140 mg/L), the serum procalcitonin level was low. Brain magnetic resonance and lumbar puncture showed no pathology. |
