This Case Study describes a 70-year-old immunocompetent male with rapidly-progressing dementia. Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease was suspected, but a diagnosis of enterovirus encephalitis was confirmed by brain biopsy. The authors discuss the diagnostic challenges presented by this case, and briefly review enteroviral infections of the brain.
