Description

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis is caused by an RNA virus now classified as an arenavirus. Rodents are the primary reservoir. Clinically, infection usually presents as an acute influenza-like illness. Symptoms develop 5-10 days after exposure. Most patients develop fevers of 101-104 degrees F with chills and muscle rigidity. Other symptoms may include malaise, retro-orbital headache, photophobia, weakness, anorexia, nausea, and light-headedness. Some patients may experience sore throat. Symptoms may improve after five days to three weeks, but some suffer relapse with meningeal symptoms. Source: Regenstrief Institute
