Article Abstract
We report a fatal case of measles inclusion-body encephalitis occurring in a woman from Romania with AIDS. After an extensive but unsuccessful diagnostic evaluation, a pan-pathogen shotgun metagenomic approach revealed a measles virus infection. We identified no mutations previously associated with neurovirulence.

Negative-sense RNA viruses (NSVs) carrying a non-segmented genome encompass a broad group of viruses responsible for numerous human diseases such as rabies, mumps, measles, respiratory illness and encephalitis. Viruses replicate intracellular and interact with various host proteins to evade the immune response and persist within the host. A salient trait of NSVs is their ability to form cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (IBs) which are believed to serve as pivotal sites for viral replication.

Unlabelled: Some negative-sense RNA viruses, including measles virus (MeV), share the characteristic that during their infection cycle, cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (IBs) are formed where components of the viral replication machinery are concentrated. As a foci of viral replication, how IBs act to enhance the efficiency of infection by affecting virus-host interactions remains an important topic of investigation. We previously established that upon MeV infection, the epigenetic host protein, WD repeat-containing protein 5 (WDR5), translocates to cytoplasmic viral IBs and facilitates MeV replication.

Many negative-sense single-stranded RNA viruses within the order Mononegavirales harm humans. A common feature shared among cells infected by these viruses is the formation of subcellular membraneless structures called biomolecular condensates, also known as inclusion bodies (IBs), that form through a process called liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). Like many other membraneless organelles, viral IBs enrich a specific subset of viral and host proteins involved in the formation of viral particles.

Measles inclusion-body encephalitis (MIBE) is rare, with insights largely from case studies. We systematically analyzed subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) cases in immunocompromised patients, identifying distinctive clinical and neuroimaging features. These findings could facilitate MIBE diagnosis without the need for brain biopsies.

Purpose: To share our clinical experience with the diagnosis and management of children with hematolymphoid malignancies presenting with epilepsia partialis continua (EPC) as a sequelae of measles infection.
Materials And Methods: In December 2022, a series of children in our hemato-oncology unit presented with focal status epilepticus with no conclusive evidence pointing toward any underlying etiology. One such child had a typical measles rash a few weeks before the onset of this focal status epilepticus.
