Encephalitis caused by a virus. More common in children. Symptoms include chills, fever, headache, vomiting, impaired consciousness, and convulsions. It can also lead to cranial nerve palsy, limb paralysis, and mental symptoms such as hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, mental abnormalities, speech disorders, excitement, agitation, and depression. Physical signs may include meningeal irritation and pathological reflexes of the pyramidal tract. Cerebrospinal fluid examination shows elevated pressure. It appears colorless and transparent with mild protein elevation. Glucose and chloride levels are normal. Treatment is primarily symptomatic and supportive. Prevention involves comprehensive measures focused on cutting transmission pathways, eliminating insect vectors, and administering vaccines.
