questionalbe association with human psychiatric disease
In animals there appear to be two different variants of Borna disease: the encephalitic variant which is usually encountered after natural infection, and a "forme fruste" characterized by mainly behavioral abnormalities (seemingly more common in experimental infections). Since there are a small number of case reports about human disease following organ transplantation, characterized by progressive encephalitis and in most cases ending fatal, it seems plausible that a forme fruste variant can also occur in humans. But that illness should differ considerably from typical psychiatric disease: Onset should be rather acute and dramatic, and symptoms comprising an unusual mixture of psychiatric symptoms, possibly associated with subtle abnormalities in movement, sensation or autonomic function. For short, I would expect a "behavioral" variant of Borna disease in humans to look more like PANDAS and related conditions, and not like classical depression, anxiety or schizophrenia. --2003:E7:7727:B627:DC3C:A056:3CEC:8AE0 (talk) 22:31, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
