Abstract
Introduction: Acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE), a fatal subtype of infection-triggered encephalopathy syndrome (ITES), can be triggered by many systemic infections. RANBP2 gene mutations were associated with recurrent ANE.
Case presentation: Here we report a 1-year-old girl with recurrent ITES and RANBP2 mutation. She was diagnosed with influenza-associated encephalopathy and made a full recovery on the first episode. After severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, the patient presented with seizures and deteriorating mental status. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed necrotic lesions in bilateral thalami and pons. Methylprednisolone, immunoglobulin, and interleukin 6 inhibitors were administered. Her consciousness level was improved at discharge. Nineteen cases of 2019 coronavirus disease-related ANE have been reported, of which 22.2% of patients died and 61.1% had neurologic disabilities. RANBP2 gene mutation was found in five patients, two of whom developed recurrent ITES.
Conclusion: Patients with RANBP2 mutations are at risk for recurrent ITES, may develop ANE, and have a poor prognosis after relapse.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
