BACKGROUND Tick borne encephalitis is the most frequent vector-transmitted infectious disease of the central nervous system in Europe and Asia. The disease caused by European subtype of tick borne encephalitis virus has typically a biphasic clinical course with the second phase presenting as meningitis, meningoencephalitis, or meningoencephalomyelitis. Cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis is conside...

Acute viral encephalitis caused by neurotrophic viruses, such as mosquito-borne flaviviruses, is an emerging and re-emerging disease that represents an immense global health problem. Considerable progression has been made in understanding the pathogenesis of acute viral encephalitis, but the immune-pathological processes occurring during the progression of encephalitis and the roles played by v...

BACKGROUND Encephalitis is associated with significant mortality and morbidity, but its cause remains largely unknown. We designed a national prospective study in France in 2007 to describe patients with encephalitis, investigate the etiologic diagnosis of encephalitis, and assess risk factors associated with death. METHODS Patients were enrolled by attending physicians according to case defi...

Viral encephalitis causes acute inflammation of the brain parenchyma and is a significant cause of human morbidity and mortality. Although Herpes Simplex encephalitis is the most frequent known cause of fatal sporadic encephalitis in humans, an increasingly wide range of viruses and other microbial pathogens are implicated. Up to 60% of cases of presumed viral encephalitis remain unexplained du...

Permissiveness of blood-derived caprine monocytes to infection by caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus increased during in vitro cultivation and differentiation into macrophages, as evidenced by immunofluorescence and release of extracellular infectious virus. The degree of cell susceptibility to virus infection varied among individual goats, independent of age or breed. Caprine arthritis-encep...

Factors that influence plaque formation by the infectious RNA of the equine encephalitis viruses were studied. Optimal conditions were found that provided a very sensitive and reliable assay system for the infectious RNA of this group of viruses. There was a linear relationship between plaque counts in monolayers and the dilution of the RNA applied. The frequency distribution of plaques formed ...

Although Covid-19 disease is primarily considered an infection of the respiratory tract, it currently known that damage and adverse reactions in course after this affect several other bodily systems, however these issues are not yet fully understood, especially tangent its neurological manifestations.3,4 In sense, report aims to add list many cases being reported/described literature which warn...

The purpose of this work is to remind doctors practical medicine about the importance differential diagnosis with cancers in general pediatric practice and increase vigilance clinicians regarding similarity manifestations oncology infectious diseases on example specific clinical cases. We conducted an empirical, descriptive study 4 cases children. selected them among 21 patients who were diagno...

BACKGROUND Infection of the CNS is considered to be the major cause of encephalitis and more than 100 different pathogens have been recognized as causative agents. Despite being identified worldwide as an important public health concern, studies on encephalitis are very few and often focus on particular types (with respect to causative agents) of encephalitis (e.g. West Nile, Japanese, etc.). M...
