## Abstract Neurotrophic West Nile virus (WNV) disease is a severe arbovirus infection in which neuronal loss is the likely anatomical substrate for the high morbidity and mortality. We investigated whether cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein biomarkers were elevated in vivo and related to disease se
To assess the presence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the central nervous system (CNS), HCV-RNA was sought in paired serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples of 21 HIV/HCV-positive patients: HCV-RNA was detected in the serum of 19/21 patients (90.4%), and in the CSF of five of the 19 serum-positiv
