Scientists report first case of brain infection by cutaneous poliovirus in immunocompromised patient

American researchers presented information on the first registered case of central nervous system infection caused by the TSPyV poliovirus. This case involved a young woman undergoing treatment with immunosuppressive therapy.

Typically, when the immune system is weakened, this virus causes skin lesions. Details of the described case were officially published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
