Encephalitis

the most important of all. Encephalitis is a term for diseases in which the brain swells, but which can also mean a swelling or reaction by any part of the CNS (Baker and Larsen, 1944). Many things could and do cause encephalitis from bacterial, viral or fungal infections to trauma induced to the brain which may be hard to diagnose and differentiate from (Khetsuriani et al, 2006). Fatal cases of encephalitis are found to be classified as an acute viral encephalitis in two thirds of cases (Johnson

Knut died after having a seizureand collapsing in the pool within his enclosure. It was known at that time that he suffered from encephalitis⎯an acute inflammation of the brain that could have serious consequences if left untreated. While Knut’s encephalitis was previously thought to be bacterial or viral in origin, we now know that an anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis caused his demise. This is an autoimmune condition that until recently was thought to affect only humans. In this condition, the body’s

Postpartum herpes encephalitis with status epilepticus caused by Herpes simplex virus type 1. In this paper, we are going to do study how cured the female patient who developed a generalized seizure as a complication of Herpes simplex virus type 1 encephalitis without typical symptoms of herpes encephalitis like fever, headache. Female patient presented to the emergency room with status epilepticus and loss of consciousness with no other chronic disease history. Patient gave the birth by cesarean

difficile; Antibiotic-resistant Gonorrhea; Highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5); Japanese encephalitis; MERS-CoV; Naegleria fowleri; Powassan Virus; and Zika. List your disease in the blank. Then, research the disease from www.cdc.gov and answer the following questions. Japanese encephalitis 2) Describe the microbial agent that causes your disease (3 points). According to the CDC (2015), the Japanese encephalitis virus is a flavivirus just like the yellow fever and West Nile virus. Flaviviruses are

that can cause autoimmune encephalitis include: Arboviruses (viruses carried by insects) Chickenpox (very rare) Epstein-Barr HIV MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine* * According to the National Vaccine Information Center, approximately one in three million children who receive the MMR vaccine develop encephalitis. However, rates of encephalitis in the days before routine vaccination reached as high as one child in every 1,000. To put it another way, encephalitis was roughly 3,000 times more

exact mechanism of Rituximab in LGI1 patients is still unclear. One possible explanation is that Rituximab targets CD20 on B cells, so it can attenuate B cells and deplete antibodies.[19] As an increasing number of autoimmune non-paraneoplastic encephalitis cases

trials. In 1692, a year after the trials began, there was a drought, so many crops were not able to grow and ergot poison could not spread. However, ergot poisoning was not the only theory suggested. Chiefly, encephalitis was considered to be another theory that explained the Salem trials. Encephalitis left people in coma-like trances and even dead. Symptoms included inflammation of the brain, headaches, fever, confusion, seizures, loss of hearing, and no control over eye muscles. Carlson provides with

WEST NILE ENCEPHALITIS Serah Hinga MICROBIOLGY Instructor: Mrs. April Champa Date: 10/17/2016 West Nile Encephalitis is a West Nile Virus that causes inflammation of the brain. The viral family’s name is flaviviridae and genera flavivirus (Tortora. Funke. Case, 2010, p 376). The flavivirus genome consists of positive RNA single strand. However, the virus has acquired several mutations and research is ongoing (Tortora, Funke, Case, 2010 p 223). West Nile virus is an arthropod-borne

Vaccinating your horse is essential. It is the only way to keep your horse from contracting and spreading dangerous and potentially fatal diseases. The six main vaccines that you must give to compete in competitions are eastern and western equine encephalitis (EEE and WEE) also known as “sleeping sickness,” tetanus, equine influenza, rhinopneumonitis, and west nile. Another vaccines that is not required by recommended to get is rabies.

Heart”, and many other dark stories. He never had a great life and no one knows how he died. Most people believe he overdosed on alcohol, some say he had rabies, and some even say he had encephalitis (brain inflammation). Poe died of alcohol because of his hard life, condition near death, and the rabies and encephalitis theories don’t make as much sense. Some people say he died of alcohol because he had a hard life. Poe’s mom and dad both were gone by the time Poe was three. His father had deserted
