Enteroviral Meningoencephalitis Case: Rapidly Progressive Dementia in Brain Biopsy Findings

This case study by Valcour et al. (2008) presents a unique instance of enteroviral meningoencephalitis, characterized by rapidly progressive dementia. The brain biopsy specimen stained with hematoxylin and eosin reveals foci of microglia and lymphocytes infiltrating the leptomeninges and neuropil. This pathological observation underscores the inflammatory response associated with the viral infection, offering crucial insights into the disease's clinical presentation and progression.
