Diagnostic interpretation of laboratory tests performed.

#only patients with rash suggestive of rubella were tested;$suggestive of recent/acute infection;¥suggestive of past infection [44]; For both viruses encephalitis/encephalomyelitis/(poly)radiculitis may be (rare) manifestations of acute infection or of reactivation associated with severe (iatrogenic) immunocompromise. By demonstrating presence of EBNA IgG for EBV and CMV IgG for CMV in the absence of IgM acute infection can be ruled out. All patients were HIV negative, but information about signs or symptoms of severe immunocompromise were unfortunately not available, and considered as possible cause as virus reactivation cannot be ruled out;*rabies PCR was only performed on collected saliva of patients with a clinical syndrome suggestive of rabies (e.g. hydrophobia, hypersalivation and aerophobia).Diagnostic interpretation of laboratory tests performed.
