Abstract

Acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE) is a rare encephalopathy characterized by multiple symmetrical brain lesions, mainly involving thalami. Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic inflammatory condition of unknown cause characterized by fever, sore throat, rash and joint pain. Both entities are considered to be triggered by infections and associated with hypercytokinemia.
