Encephalitis among Cree children in northern Quebec.

Abstract:

:We report a neurological disease among Cree Indian children in a northern Quebec village. The disease manifests as severe mental retardation, cerebral atrophy with white matter changes and calcifications, and systemic immunological abnormalities. Eleven cases are known in five families. The familial incidence of cases and the high degree of parental consanguinity suggest a genetic contribution. We propose that this entity may be caused by an unusual viral infection in a genetically vulnerable host.
