Why do children get encephalitis? What are the consequences of a child suffering from encephalitis?

Hello, I'm a doctor! Viral encephalitis can occur regardless of age! The so-called viral encephalitis is of course a disease caused by a virus, but if you want to know more about it, please be sure to tell me about the type of virus your girlfriend is infected with!

I'll elaborate! There are many types of viral encephalitis! Different types of programs are different and have different severity!

**The program is similar, basically divided into: antiviral** and immune** and symptomatic support** three categories! Regular hospitals are like this!

Don't know if mine will help you.

Encephalitis is divided into encephalitis, nodular, diseased encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis, and bacterial meningitis, I don't know which one you need to know. First of all, we will introduce the meningococcal meningitis (referred to as "cerebral flow") JBT disease database, disease database, health information platform, your healthy friends!

Meningococcal meningitis (encephalitis) is an infectious disease that children are prone to.

The child's resistance is low.

Encephalitis is caused by pathogen invasion of the brain parenchyma. The vast majority of ** are viral infections, including arboviruses, enteroviruses, respiratory viruses, herpes viruses, etc. It can also be caused by bacterial, fungal, spirochetes, rickettsia, parasites, etc.

Clinical symptoms] high fever, headache, body ache, vomiting, coma, convulsions, hemorrhagic rash.

The sequelae of encephalitis are mainly muscle paralysis left after brain and bulbar lesions, and some patients will also have impaired consciousness.

Complications] Complications include bronchopneumonia, myocarditis, cold sores, intracranial hypertension, cerebral herniation, etc.

Examination] routine blood examination, imaging examination, immunological examination, cerebrospinal fluid examination, etc.

Diagnosis] It is of great significance for the diagnosis of this disease if the double serum titer is increased by more than 4 times or the serum titer of a single dose is more than 1:16.

Dietary recommendations] Ensure adequate caloric intake, formulate a diet plan according to the patient's caloric needs, and give a high-calorie, light, and easy-to-digest diet.

**Principle]**Primary disease and symptomatic**.

The prognosis for mild disease is good. A small number of sequelae such as epilepsy and limb paralysis.

Hello. The most common causes of encephalitis are respiratory tract infection, otitis media, chickenpox, mumps, herpes simplex virus infection, etc., in short, the occurrence of encephalitis is related to infection, or viral infection or bacterial infection.

There are many causes, such as meningitis that spreads to the brain after infection in the danger triangle.

Encephalitis refers to the invasion of the brain parenchyma by pathogens, and the vast majority of ** is a viral infection, and may also be caused by bacteria, molds, spirochetes, rickettsiae, parasites and other infections, and some may be caused by autoimmune diseases.

Generally, bacteria and viruses enter the brain through the bloodstream and cause infection.

Hello, you have fever, headache with nausea and vomiting. CT of the head, routine blood tests, or tuberculin test should be done. I think you may be meningitis or head tuberculosis possibly.

It is recommended to go to the neurology department of a regular tertiary hospital for head CT examination, and if necessary, lumbar puncture can be done to check the biochemistry of cerebrospinal fluid to make a clear diagnosis.

Analysis: Hello, the cause of low-grade fever and weakness in the limbs is caused by encephalitis.

Advice: If it is encephalitis, there may be encephalitis caused by parasites in the body, and it is recommended that it be best to go to the hospital for examination.

Encephalitis is a very common disease. Once the human brain is infected with bacteria or viruses, there will be many inflammatory factors and many clinical symptoms, especially in children. The most typical symptom of encephalitis is high fever, usually over 40°C.

The condition is very critical, everyone should pay special attention. Children can also experience severe headaches and other symptoms. If it's just a mild headache, it can be quickly relieved with over-the-counter medications.

If the headache lasts for a long time and the patient cannot eat or play, it means that the condition is already very serious and should be sent to the doctor in time**. <>

Parents have a big misunderstanding, that is, meningitis and encephalitis are not clear, thinking that it is a disease. Strictly speaking, these are two diseases, but both are diseases of the central system. The biggest difference between meningitis and encephalitis is the location of infection.

Just like the name of the disease, meningitis is inflammation of the sac on the surface of the brain. The clinical symptoms are mild, mainly manifested as headache, vomiting and other symptoms. If promptly**, the effect is better after healing.

People with diffuse encephalitis initially experience symptoms such as general malaise, but soon develop symptoms such as coma and high fever. Patients with brainstem encephalitis may have facial nerve palsy, dysphagia, numbness and other symptoms. Some patients will have symptoms such as poor physical activity, hemiplegia, aphasia, increased intracranial pressure, and even vomiting, and some patients will find that local ** will form erythema or purple spots.

Patients with encephalitis need to rest more, go to the hospital to inject antibacterial drugs, and give antipyretics at the same time, so that the symptoms can be relieved. In addition, they also need to develop good habits in their daily lives. Develop the habit of washing hands frequently, eat more fruits and vegetables, and do more exercise to enhance physical fitness.

Finally, it is necessary to remind parents and friends that encephalitis can cause complications such as epilepsy, which has a great impact on the quality of life of children in the future, and they must go to a regular hospital for treatment. .

The sequelae of pediatric encephalitis are mainly related to the specific parts of the central nervous system affected by pediatric encephalitis, which is a relatively common central nervous system infection in childhood.

If pediatric encephalitis affects higher nerve centers such as the bilateral frontal lobes, it may cause mental retardation, including memory, orientation, calculation, and judgment.

If the motor center is affected, hemiplegia may occur or the corresponding cranial nerve palsy may occur. If there is a lot of inflammatory material, blocking the arachnoid granules of the superior sagittal sinus may also cause communicating hydrocephalus, and if the temporal lobe lesion is severe, it may cause recurrent seizures.

The consequences may be severe, may prevent the child's physical development, the child's brain development will also be delayed, and the child's IQ will have a great impact, the child may not be able to live a normal life, and the damage is irreversible.

Encephalitis in children is very harmful to the body, especially easy to cause mental retardation, and it is also particularly easy to cause some other chronic diseases, which will also make the body weaker and weaker, reduce immunity, and in severe cases, cause death.

Children have early symptoms of encephalitis, infection symptoms, such as fever, vomiting, no milk, poor spirits, paleness, cold sweats, need to be carefully observed by parents, and at the same time the neck is stiff, high suspicion of encephalitis, for the general hospital pediatric or brain department MRI scan, through physical examination, medical history, the symptoms of encephalitis are different, mainly manifested as neuropsychiatric abnormalities. The most common manifestations of neurological abnormalities are fever, headache, vomiting, drowsiness, coma, epilepsy and other severe cases, brain, hypothalamus, basal ganglia, brainstem, cerebellum, spinal cord and other symptoms may have abnormal manifestations, abnormal mental states are manifested as arousal, multilingualism, etc.

At this time, the body temperature is higher than before, there may be vomiting, diarrhea, cough and other manifestations, after 3-5 days of rash, the rash gradually decreases in the order of the rash, the body temperature drops, the condition improves, and the measles can be combined with pneumonia, laryngitis, encephalitis, etc., the deeper the coma, the longer the duration, the more serious the condition. Some severe patients may have epilepsy, aphasia, or paralysis, and some can be fatal.

When encephalitis occurs in children, the brain is gouged out. The most prominent manifestation is the impaired consciousness, in which the area of the brain is fixed. If you dig out more, the pressure of the brain will rise, and the pressure will cause headaches, because encephalitis is an infectious disease, there will be fever, followed by headaches, the degree of headache is not the same, some children show severe pain, mosquito prevention is one of the basic measures to prevent Japanese encephalitis, when going out in the morning and evening in summer, wear long sleeves and long pants, use mosquito coils, mosquito coils, and apply mosquito repellent water.

Remove waste water in time to prevent mosquitoes from multiplying.

In the case of encephalitis, it is first necessary to clarify**, according to **giving**, and if it is infectious encephalitis, according to**take anti-infection**; If it is encephalitis caused by an autoimmune reaction, hormones or immunity are needed**, and for children, the most important thing is to be vaccinated to prevent the occurrence of diseases, and in daily life, the home should also be kept clean, in good condition, and ventilated in time, so that children are in a neat and hygienic environment.

There will be headaches, fevers, and vomiting, very upset stomach, and fatigue, so be sure to go to the hospital to receive **, which can be done by infusion**.

First of all, the child's intellectual development will be very difficult, and the child is also prone to fever, but also headache, the body will be very weak, and the resistance will decrease.

The main manifestations are fever and vomiting, poor spirits, frequent headaches, and abdominal pain. Performed with medication**.

If the symptoms are mild, drowsiness, vomiting, fever, irritability, irritability, and even convulsions or impaired consciousness may occur. If the symptoms are severe, there will be recurrent high fever, severe impairment of consciousness, very high intracranial pressure, irregular breathing, and deep coma. For this disease, one should do some antiviral**, or take some medications, and you can also take some antipsychotic drugs.

Generally speaking, encephalitis is viral encephalitis, and the focus of diagnosis is whether it is epidemic season, whether there is a history of exposure, whether there are symptoms associated with viral infection, vaccination history, etc. Clinical manifestations: 1 Children in the prodromal stage had fever, headache, myalgia, vomiting, diarrhea and other manifestations.

2 Symptoms of encephalitis vary from mild to severe, mainly manifested as neuropsychiatric abnormalities. Neurological abnormalities include fever, headache, vomiting, drowsiness, coma, convulsions, etc., and in severe cases, symptoms of the brain, hypothalamus, basilis, brainstem, cerebellum, and spinal cord may be abnormal. Mental abnormalities are manifested as excitement, polylanguage, irritability, crying and laughing, insomnia, abnormal behavior, hallucinations, fantasies, or indifferent expressions, silence, decreased activity, non-eating, poor orientation, memory loss, incontinence, etc.

3 Accompanying symptoms: Symptoms of corresponding viral infection before or at the same time as the onset of encephalitis.
