Adult-onset COVID-19-associated Fulminant Acute Encephalopathy with Elevated Cerebrospinal Fluid Interleukin-8 : A Case Report
A 26-year-old woman receiving immunosuppressive therapy for polymyositis was infected with COVID-19 (an omicron mutant strain) and presented with fever. On the second day after the onset, she was admitted to our hospital and developed status epilepticus. Brain magnetic resonance imaging on admission revealed abnormal symmetric hyperintensities in the bilateral putamen and around the dorsal horns of the lateral ventricle. Three days after admission, brain computed tomography revealed marked cerebral edema and herniation. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cell count was normal, and the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 was negative. Interleukin (IL)-2, 6, and 10 levels were within the normal range in both serum and CSF, whereas IL-8 levels in the CSF were markedly higher compared to serum levels. She had fulminant acute encephalopathy, suspected to be in the early stages of acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE). Steroid pulse therapy and intravenous infusions of remdesivir were ineffective, and the patient died of sepsis on the 26th day after admission. We demonstrated that ANE may occur even in patients infected with Omicron strains and speculated that the pathogenesis in this case might be associated with intrathecal IL-8 production by microglial activation.
