lüll Japanese viral encephalitis Tiroumourougane SV; Raghava P; Srinivasan SPostgrad Med J 2002[Apr]; 78 (918): 205-15One of the leading causes of acute encephalopathy in children in the tropics is Japanese encephalitis (JE). Transmitted by the culex mosquito, this neurotropic virus predominately affects the thalamus, anterior horns of the spinal cord, cerebral cortex, and cerebellum. It mainly affects children <15 years and is mostly asymptomatic. The occasional symptomatic child typically presents with a neurological syndrome characterised by altered sensorium, seizures, and features of intracranial hypertension. Aetiological diagnosis is based on virus isolation or demonstration of virus specific antigen or antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid/blood. Though no antiviral drug is available against JE, effective supportive management can improve the outcome. Control of JE involves efficient vector control and appropriate use of vaccines.|*Encephalitis, Japanese/diagnosis/epidemiology/therapy[MESH]|Adolescent[MESH]|Child[MESH]|Child, Preschool[MESH]|Diagnosis, Differential[MESH]|Disease Outbreaks[MESH]|Encephalitis Virus, Japanese[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Infant[MESH]|Infant, Newborn[MESH]|Intracranial Pressure[MESH]|Mosquito Control[MESH]|Prognosis[MESH]|Viral Vaccines[MESH] |
