Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is the most common cause of acute clinical hepatitis in the world and can cause extrahepatic disease including the nervous system. This is a case report of two patients illustrating this disorder. One patient was a 69-year-old man with painless affection of both brachial plexuses, and the other patient was a 61-year-old man with painful right brachial plexus affection, headache and cognitive problems. Both had pleocytosis in cerebrospinal fluid and tested positive for HEV immunoglobulin (Ig) G and IgM in blood, and the first also in blood with PCR analysis. No other infectious agents were identified. Symptoms improved over months. |
