Background Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been found to cause infectious mononucleosis multiple times, but has been associated rarely with EBV encephalitis. Also, whenever it is diagnosed, it is always treated symptomatically. Case report A case of confirmed EBV encephalitis is presented, which was treated with antiviral therapy resulting in complete clearance of the virus in cerebrospinal flui...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Pediatric encephalitis has a wide range of etiologies, clinical presentations, and outcomes. This study seeks to classify and characterize infectious, immune-mediated/autoantibody-associated and unknown forms of encephalitis, including relative frequencies, clinical and radiologic phenotypes, and long-term outcome. METHODS By using consensus definitions and a retrosp...
Background: From Gaya and adjoining regions, the trend in patients admitted with acute neurological illness was investigated. Illnesses were identified as sudden outbreaks of Japanese virus encephalitis (JE), Herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSV-1&2), and other acute encephalitis syndrome (AES). Objective: In the current study, an investigation was carr...
BACKGROUND Data on encephalitis in Thailand have not been completely described. Etiologies remain largely unknown. We prospectively analyzed 103 Thai patients from 27 provinces for the causes of encephalitis using clinical, microbiological and neuroimaging indices; caseswithout a diagnosis were evaluated for autoimmune causes of encephalitis. METHODS Patients with encephalitis and/or myelitis...
BACKGROUND Encephalitis is parenchymal brain inflammation due to infectious or immune-mediated processes. However, in 15-60% the cause remains unknown. This study aimed to determine if the cytokine/chemokine-mediated host response can distinguish infectious from immune-mediated cases, and whether this may give a clue to aetiology in those of unknown cause. METHODS We measured 38 mediators in ...
The most common type of autoimmune encephalitis is anti-NMDAR-encephalitis. It characterized by IgG antibodies against the GluN1 subunit NMDA receptor, leading to marked neuropsychiatric and behavioural symptoms that progress in a subacute manner seizures, speech abnormalities, depressed level consciousness. In this case report, clinical course 30-year-old man who first received treatment for...
OBJECTIVE To discuss the differential diagnosis of encephalitis beyond that of infectious etiology and to inform pediatricians about the possibility of anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAr) encephalitis in children by highlighting its most important clinical features. DESCRIPTION Three patients presented with an initial neuropsychiatric syndrome followed by encephalopathy and movement di...
Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain. The diagnosis of encephalitis can be established only by microscopic examination of brain tissue, and similarly the etiology is established only by the recovery from or the demonstration in brain tissue of an infectious agent. In clinical practice, however, the diagnosis of encephalitis frequently is based on neurologic manifestations, and the etiol...
Epstein Barr virus (EBV) encephalitis is rare in children but can have severe neurological complications and sometimes fatal. It can manifest with varied neurological presentations like meningoencephalitis, brain stem encephalitis, GBS etc. This can appear alone or with clinical picture of infectious mononucleosis. Establishing a diagnosis of EBV encephalitis is difficult and consequently molec...
