    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die August/September 1967 in Marburg aufgetretene, durch grüne Meerkatzen aus Uganda (Cercopithecus aethiops) auf Menschen übertragene schwere Infektionskrankheit („Marburger Krankheit”) hat in den tödlich verlaufenden Fällen unter dem Bilde einer subakuten komatösen Encephalitis zu einer Gliaknötchenencephalitis panencephaler Ausbreitung geführt. In den perakuten Verläufen mit nur eintägiger Bewußtlosigkeit fanden sich hingegen lediglich Hinweise auf eine hämorrhagische Diathese im Zentralnervensystem („Syndrom malin”").Vergleichende neuropathologische Hinweise auf andere Formen von Gliaknötchenencephalitiden im Umkreis des Fleckfiebers, typhöser und paratyphöser Erkrankungen, der zahlreichen Arboviren-Encephalitiden und der sporadischen einheimischen Gliaknötchenencephalitis und die Frage möglichen Strukturwandels encephalitischer Prozesse nach Überimpfung auf Affen werden erörtert.
    Notes: Summary Report is given on the neuropathological findings in lethal cases of a severe exanthematous infectious disease which occurred in August to September 1967 in Marburg (Germany) and which was transmitted to man by green long-tailed monkeys from Uganda (cercopithecus aethiops). Two lethal cases showed typical clinical signs of a subacute comatous encephalitis. The histological picture was that of a panencephalitis with glial nodules (“Gliaknötchenencephalitis”) and slight perivasal lymphocytic infiltration. A similar but less marked glial process in combination with focal haemorrhages in the cerebral white matter and corpus callosum was found in a case without inconsciousness and neurological signs. Slight diapedeses were seen in cases which had been unconscious only for one day. The authors compare these neuropathological findings with other forms of glial nodule encephalitis i.e. in typhoid fever, typhous and paratyphous diseases, numerous arthropodborn encephalitides and in the glial nodule encephalitis occuring sporadically in middle Europa. The question of a possible change of the structure of the encephalitic process after animal passage is discussed.
