title: Meningoencephalitis and polyradiculoneuritis in adults: don't forget rubella.
abstract: We describe a severe case of meningoencephalitis and polyradiculoneuritis that occurred following rubella in an otherwise healthy 19-year-old man. The diagnosis was made serologically. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of extensive neurological involvement in an adult with rubella.
