transverse myelitis: Transverse myelitis often develops following viral infections. Infectious agents suspected of causing transverse myelitis include varicella zoster (the virus that causes chickenpox and shingles), herpes simplex, cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, influenza, echovirus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis A, and rubella. Bacterial skin infections, middle-ear infections (otitis media), and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (bacterial pneumonia) have also been associated with the condition.
Symptoms of transverse myelitis include a loss of spinal cord function over several hours to several weeks. What usually begins as a sudden onset of lower back pain, muscle weakness, or abnormal sensations in the toes and feet can rapidly progress to more severe symptoms, including paralysis, urinary retention, and loss of bowel control. Although some patients recover from transverse myelitis with minor or no residual problems, others suffer permanent impairments that affect their ability to perform ordinary tasks of daily living. Most patients will have only one episode of transverse myelitis; a small percentage may have a recurrence.

HIV Rabies Ebola/Marburg Virus Small Pox Keep in brain HIV is the one virus at the record nobody recovers from. HIV kills all people ultimately (however as a rule slowly). Rabies kills ALMOST all people who does not get a shot instantly after publicity. (If you requested this question a pair years in the past it might be all people). Some lines or Ebola kill practically all people inflamed, however opposite to general perception there have been a few moderate lines. Small pox kills among 10% and 33% of the ones inflamed (relying at the pressure) and now not exists within the wild. If you wish illnesses that every so often kill and are triggered by way of viruses, the record is longer. Hepatitis C Hanta Virus Yellow Fever Eastern Equine Encephalitis The Bird Flu (Malaria isn't triggered by way of a virulent disease, it's triggered by way of a protozoa).

That's a pretty broad question. Any disease you can think of can usually be caused by at least one virus due to a large number of them causing severe morbidity (Disease suceptibility) as a symptom (The AIDS causing HIV virus especially).
Here's an MSN page that seems to have a large list of diseases most directly caused by viruses.

Just click 'diseases caused by viruses' and then scroll down and click the same phrase again if you just want a straight list.

Shingles. People don't usually die from it, but it's so painful they wish they were dead. I know I did!
