Patient's question:
My friend is 59 years old this year. Because he suffers from viral encephalitis, I visited him two days ago and felt that he had lost a lot of weight, so I want to ask if people with viral encephalitis lose weight?Doctor's answer:
Viral encephalitis should actively control tics: When tics occur again, it is important to stop them promptly. Slow intravenous injection or enema with diazepam dissolved can be chosen; slow intravenous injection or enema with clonazepam dissolved can be chosen; phenobarbital can be used to stop tics. Antiviral treatment, acyclovir can be used to treat herpes simplex encephalitis, ribavirin can be used to treat measles encephalitis, and ganciclovir is effective against cytomegalovirus encephalitis. High-dose hormone treatment can be used for patients with white matter demyelination caused by viral infection.
