Abstract
Adenoviridae are rare causes of meningoencephalitis in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. In this article the authors report a case of adenoviral meningoencephalitis caused by serotype 26 and its identification, not described previously, in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by PCR and brain tissue by immunohistochemical staining.
