HUMAN ASTROVIRUS VA1 ENCEPHALITIS IN PEDIATRIC CANCER PATIENTS: REPORT OF TWO CASES AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

2024-01-31

Abstract excerpt

Novel human astrovirus (HAstV) strains have been recently shown to cause fatal encephalitis in immunocompromised patients. We report two cases from our institution. A 2-year old female undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia and a 9-year old male with refractory acute myeloid leukemia. Both were found to have HAstV-VA1 in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by metagenomics next generation sequencing (m-NGS...
