Secondary neuropsychiatric manifestations caused by Epstein-Barr virus encephalitis in a new onset systemic lupus erythematosus patient

Chen Hongbo et al. Rheumatol Int. 2012 Aug.

Abstract

Abnormal manifestations of central nervous system in system lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients are mainly caused by primary neuropsychiatric SLE (NP-SLE). We reported a new onset SLE patient who had secondary neuropsychiatric manifestations caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) encephalitis. Although EBV has an uncertain association with SLE, Epstein-Barr virus encephalitis occurred in active SLE patients was not reported previously. Our report may be the first case about EBV encephalitis occurred in active SLE.
