The case of inflammatory vasculopathy and encephalopathy caused by treatment with tacrolimus is reported. This 49-year-old woman developed progressive gait ataxia and right-sided hemiparesis after 7 years of tacrolimus therapy for focal sclerosing glomerulonephritis. MRI presented multifocal cerebral lesions with contrast enhancement. Oligoclonal banding was positive. When the treatment with tacrolimus was stopped, the clinical symptoms resolved completely and the MRI findings improved with corticoid monotherapy.
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) with high titers to West Nile virus was used as an adjuvant therapy for a patient with West Nile virus encephalitis that did not respond to supportive care. We present this case report and review the evidence supporting the use of high-titer IVIG.
