dc.description.abstractAn epidemic outbreak of Japanese encephalitis (JE) occurred during mid 1995. Sixteen serum samples from patients with history of febrile headache, convulsions, mental confusion, neck rigidity etc. were sent to the Department of Virology, School of Tropical Medicine, Calcutta, in August, 1995. Twelve (75%) showed HIV antibody against JEV. Out of these 12 sera showing HIV antibody titre between 1:40 and 1:160, eight (66.6%) showed IgM antibody, giving the presumptive diagnosis of recent JEV infection. Five of these 16 sera showed HIV seropositivity (31.25%). Concomitant JEV and HIV infection could be detected in 3 cases. However, in 2 sera HIV titre were less than 1:20. This is probably the first documentation of concomitant JEV and HIV infection in the eastern India.en_US
