We describe a patient with meningitis caused by lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. Oligoclonal IgG bands were found in the patient's cerebrospinal fluid during acute and convalescent stages of the illness, and results of liver function tests were abnormal. Acute attacks of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection in humans can be added to the list of diseases associated with cerebrospinal fluid oligoclonal IgG.
