York, NY, resident who had no apparent risk factors. Clues leading to the diagnosis included
aseptic meningitis during winter and the finding of hypoglycorrachia and lymphocytosis in the
cerebrospinal fluid. LCMV continues to be an underdiagnosed zoonotic disease.
Critical or even fatal outcomes from LCMV are usually associated with transplacental
infections, and, more recently, solid organ transplantation. Congenital LCMV can result in
hydrocephalus, chorioretinopathy, macrocephalopathy, or microcephalopathy and can
mimic the classic TORCH (toxoplasmosis/Toxoplasma gondii, other infections, rubella,
cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus) pathogens. In 1 study of 26 infants with congenital LCMV,
9/26 (35%) died and 10/16 (63%) survivors had severe neurologic sequelae ==================================================
I find it interesting that neither report testing
for borreliosis, Yet one was tested for Syphilis.
And why in the heck are they reporting SNV now 5 years later?

Don't you think it makes more sense that the vectors are feeding on these rats and then biting humans?
Yes, this these people were in direct contact with the rats, so inhaling bacteria spores or even contamination through the skin would make sense.
My health started falling after purchasing a lake home that was infected with mice droppings. No one had cleaned along baseboards, under or moved furniture in years.
The dropping were thick. I had a Rainbow vacuum at the time, it traps all dirt in water used in the vacuum. Inhaled something? Vector bite that was unknown?

Well, we're not biting the rats, I don't think.

I think the CDC intentionally does not mention LD. Trying to take the attention away from it by bringing up other illnesses.

Exactly. Transmission is possible.
But with Lyme may be hard to find like other
things. But like XMRV, it could help to have more information on signs and symptoms for those
chronically ill and not improved after antibiotics. Maybe they are looking for funds to
research. Saying XMRV is not the only bad boy we need to look at. I don't know. Need lots of dollars.
And all the researchers to come together for the
good of the people. Test the ticks and send them
on to be tested for the virus'.
