Abstract

A 37-year-old female physician was admitted to the hospital with severe headache, facial and hand paresthesias, dysarthria, and ataxia. Neurologic examination disclosed signs of brain stem dysfunction. There was rapid neurologic deterioration, and she died in 28 hours. Postmortem studies showed the characteristic features of acute hemorrhagic leukoencephalitis.
