Meningomielitis asociadas a infección por herpes virus humano 7: Comunicación de dos casos

Human herpesvirus 7 (HHV-7) may cause encephalomyelitis in immune competent adults. We report two patients infected by the virus. A 34-year-old male presenting with paraparesis and a sensitive deficiency located in D6 dermatome. Cerebrospinal fluid had 35 white blood cells per mm³ and 75 mg protein...
