Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Stiff-person syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder associated with antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), the key enzyme in gamma-aminobutyric acid synthesis. In most cases, a trigger cannot be identified.
OBJECTIVE: To describe a 41-year-old man who developed stiff-person syndrome and antibodies to GAD following acute West Nile virus infection.
DESIGN: A case report and a search in GenBank for common epitopes.
RESULT: The search revealed a stretch of 12 amino acids in the NS1 protein of West Nile virus with a high degree of homology to the GAD65 region (an isoform of GAD) containing the PEVKEK motif.
CONCLUSION: Cross-reactivity between antibodies directed against West Nile virus and GAD may have contributed to the development of stiff-person syndrome in this patient.
