Key Points

This research aims to explore the diagnostic challenges presented by atypical findings in Eastern equine encephalitis in immunocompromised patients.
Examination of MRI findings for unusual patterns in EEE cases
Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) results
Case study of an immunocompromised patient
Identified unique MRI patterns not commonly observed in EEE, complicating diagnosis
Found CSF results that did not align with typical EEE presentations, causing delays in identification

Implication

Atypical imaging and CSF findings complicate Eastern equine encephalitis diagnosis in immunocompromised individuals, indicating the need for heightened awareness.

Abstract

To highlight the diagnostic complexity of Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) in immunocompromised patients and examine how atypical imaging and CSF findings can delay identification.
