síndrome de Armstrong
Scope note: Forma de meningitis ocasionada por el VIRUS DE LA CORIOMENINGITIS LINFOCÍTICA. Los RATONES y otros roedores son huéspedes naturales, y la infección en seres humanos suele producirse mediante inhalación o ingestión de partículas infecciosas. Clínicamente se manifiesta por un síndrome pseudogripal y a continuación rigidez de nuca, alteraciones sensoriales, ATAXIA e incontinencia. Las infecciones maternas pueden producir malformaciones y daños fetales, como HIDROCEFALIA, estenosis del acueducto, CORIORRETINITIS y MICROCEFALIA. (Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1996, Ch26, pp. 1-3)

Scope note: A form of meningitis caused by LYMPHOCYTIC CHORIOMENINGITIS VIRUS. MICE and other rodents serve as the natural hosts, and infection in humans usually occurs through inhalation or ingestion of infectious particles. Clinical manifestations include an influenza-like syndrome followed by stiff neck, alterations of mentation, ATAXIA, and incontinence. Maternal infections may result in fetal malformations and injury, including neonatal HYDROCEPHALUS, aqueductal stenosis, CHORIORETINITIS, and MICROCEPHALY.
