The very first international working discussion on slow infections
of the nervous system was entitled "Slow, Latent, and Temperate
Virus Infec tions" and was held at the National Institutes of
Health (NIH) in December 1964. The primary impetus was the
discovery and investigation of kuru in New Guinea by D. Carleton
Gajdusek, M. D. This working discussion brought together
investigators in human and veterinary medicine, virolo gists,
microbiologists, and neuropathologists actively engaged in
laboratory work with viruses that illustrated properties of
latency, masking, slowness, or temperateness, with emphasis on
subacute and chronic neurologic dis eases of unknown etiology. In
the Preface to the monograph of published papers presented at the
working discussion, Gajdusek and Gibbs wrote the following: After
microbiology had given solution to the etiology of most acute
infections of the central nervous system and after fungi and
bacteria had been incriminated in impor tant chronic disorders of
the nervous system such as torula and tuberculosis men ingitis, we
have been left, in neurology, with a wide range of subacute and
chronic affections of the central nervous systems of unknown
etiology. Some of these diseases, still listed as idiopathic, are
among the most prevalent afflictions of the central nervous system.
Many others with familial patterns of occurrence do not yet have
their basic pathogenesis or underlying metabolic defect elucidated,
although we tend to think of them as genetically mediated."
