Viral encephalomeningitis

Description:

Virus defeat of covers and substance of a brain. It is allocated as an independent disease of A. G. Panov, A. A. Smorodintsev and S. N. Davidenkov.

Symptoms of the Viral encephalomeningitis:

The disease begins sharply, without prodromal stage. Sharply temperature to 38-39 °C increases, there are a fever, a headache, dizziness, vomiting, muscle and joints pains, frustration of a dream. From the first days meningeal symptoms are observed. In 5-7 days temperature falls to normal or subnormal figures, however after temperature remission within 6-10 days there comes the second rise in temperature (the second temperature wave) which lasts 10 days. At this disease focal symptoms usually are absent or are expressed poorly as a moderate central hemiparesis, cerebellar frustration, vegetative disturbances with a hyperhidrosis, a hypoglycemia, anorexia. Sometimes mononeurites, neuritis and radiculitises develop. In cerebrospinal liquid the lymphocytic pleocytosis, increase in protein content, in blood - a leukocytosis are found.
Course of a disease favorable. Severe forms and lethal outcomes do not meet. Transition to a chronic progreduated stage is not observed. Focal symptoms usually completely regress, however can the asthenic state is long to remain.

Reasons of the Viral encephalomeningitis:

The disease is caused by the filtered virus - one of virus strains of a tick-borne encephalitis. Infection usually occurs in the alimentary way at the use of milk from the infected animals ("milk encephalitis"). Serve as carriers, as well as at a tick-borne entsefatit, ixodic mites. The disease is widespread in northwest regions of the European part of Russia, Belarus and in other regions, endemic on a tick-borne encephalitis. Seasonality (the spring and summer period) and small epidemic flashes are characteristic of a two-wave encephalomeningitis. The incubation interval usually proceeds 8-20 days at stings of a tick and 4-7 days at an alimentary way of infection.

Treatment of the Viral encephalomeningitis:

Treatment and prevention of a two-wave viral encephalomeningitis include the same methods and means, as at a tick-borne encephalitis.
