Parsonage-Turner syndrome associated with anti-bovine viral diarrhoea virus antibodies.
The Parsonage-Turner syndrome, a rare form of neuralgic amyotrophy of unknown aetiology, was diagnosed in a patient involved in an outbreak of bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV). The patient, suffering from inflammation of the right shoulder with a permanent atrophy, developed anti-BVDV antibody titres which remained very high during the four following years of monitoring.
