+Electroencephalographic (EEG) results often show generalized slowing without focal activity.
-SLEV is difficult to isolate from clinical samples and almost all isolates have come from brain tissue or CSF. In the absence of a sensitive and non-invasive virus detection method, serologic testing is the primary method for diagnosing SLEV infection. Combined with a consistent clinico-epidemiologic presentation, a rapid and accurate diagnosis of acute neuroinvasive SLEV disease can be made by the detection of SLEV-specific IgM antibody in serum or CSF. SLEV IgM tests are available commercially, in some state health department laboratories, and at CDC. A positive SLEV IgM test result should be confirmed by neutralizing antibody testing of acute- and convalescent-phase serum specimens at a state public health laboratory or CDC. To submit specimens for testing at CDC, contact your state health department. All SLEV disease cases should be reported to local public health authorities.
