[Echovirus encephalitis during Bruton disease. Favorable development. Therapeutic problems].
A 16 year old boy with Bruton type agammaglobulinaemia developed acute encephalitis. Echo virus type 3 was isolated on two occasions from the same sample of CSF. Clinical improvement occured after treatment with gammaglobulin with high anti-Echo virus titers given intramuscularly and intrathecally. However the C.S.F. protein is still raised so that it is not certain he has been completely cured.
