MR imaging in biphasic Japanese encephalitis.
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is usually a monophasic disease characterized by fever, altered sensorium with or without seizures, and other focal neurologic symptoms. If the patient survives, there is gradual recovery with or without persistent signs of central nervous system (CNS) injury. MR imaging helps in establishing an early diagnosis and shows lesions in the thalami, substantia nigra, basal...
متن کاملCoexistent neurocysticercosis and Japanese B encephalitis: MR imaging correlation.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE An increased incidence of intestinal helminthic infections has been observed in patients with viral encephalitis in endemic areas. Both Japanese B encephalitis (JE) and neurocysticercosis (NCC) share some common socio-demographic and ecologic factors, and pigs act as the intermediate carrier for both. Our purpose was to show the coexistence of JE and NCC in brain on MR im...
متن کاملMR imaging in cysticercotic encephalitis.
Cysticercotic encephalitis is a severe form of neurocysticercosis in which the brain parenchyma is harmed by the host immune response to massive cysticerci infestation [1]. Patients with this disorder usually present abnormalities of consciousness associated with intracranial hypertension, visual changes, and generalized seizures.

متن کاملNipah viral encephalitis or Japanese encephalitis? MR findings in a new zoonotic disease.

meningitis or encephalitis with or without neurological deficits. JEV typically attacks the thalamus, corpus striatum, brainstem and spinal cord. The laboratory diagnosis of JEV infection involves the detection of anti-JEV antibody IgMs using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which has high sensitivity and specificity. Because of the lack of a specific antiviral therapy, JE is usual...
