Viral encephalitis caused by respiratory viruses

Viral encephalitis caused by respiratory viruses

Results Using molecular diagnostic methods (PLEX-ID, Multiplex PCR) we identified, in the respiratory secretions and in the CSF: H1N1 influenza virus (2009), influenza AH3 virus, influenza B virus, coronavirus and adenovirus. The most severe forms of the disease were caused by the influenza virus H1N1. There were 2 cases of encephalitis admitted with this etiology, one of which had a fatal outc...

Human Diseases Caused by Viruses

While this book is based on a virology conference that took place in November 1976, it is neither out-of-date nor highly technical, as the proceedings of such conferences often are. It is rather a valuable compendium for non-virologists, especially clinicians, who wish to review or update their knowledge. The book begins with a short history of virology and a fascinating article on the taxonomy...

Viral encephalitis.

While systemic viral infections are exceptionally common, symptomatic viral infections of the brain parenchyma itself are very rare, but a serious neurologic condition. It is estimated that viral encephalitis occurs at a rate of 1.4 cases per 100.000 inhabitants. Geography is a major determinant of encephalitis caused by vector-borne pathogens. A diagnosis of viral encephalitis could be a chall...
