What are the symptoms of encephalitis, which is very harmful to children, in the early stages?

Encephalitis is a serious disease, most of which are caused by viral infections. Encephalitis is actually an inflammatory lesion caused by invasion of the brain parenchyma. The causes of infection can be viruses, bacteria, molds, spirochetes, and parasites.

There is no specific high-risk group and high-risk age group for encephalitis. It can occur in all genders and ages, and most of them are acute or subacute. In the early stages of encephalitis, symptoms resemble a cold and include fever, headache, aches, nausea, vomiting, and general fatigue.

A small number of people have a hemorrhagic rash and myocarditis. Therefore, many people will be treated as a cold when they are **, and the condition will be delayed.

Bacterial meningitis: It is caused by a certain bacterial infection. Usually, a small number of healthy people carry these germs in the nose or on the surface of the body, but these germs do not cause harm to the human body.

It is usually spread by coughing or sneezing. Some studies have shown that people are most likely to get a bacterial infection when they have a cold. First, when people have a cold, their resistance is low, their nose is inflamed, and bacteria can easily enter the brain.

Tuberculous meningitis: As the name suggests, it is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and is a non-purulent inflammation of the meninges. It accounts for about 6% of systemic tuberculosis.

In recent years, the incidence and mortality of tuberculous meningitis have increased significantly. Early diagnosis and ** can greatly improve efficacy and reduce mortality.

Viral meningitis: can be caused by several viruses, some of which are associated with diarrhea. It is possible to have diarrhea after being bitten by a wild rat and then develop a viral meningitis infection.

Cryptococcal meningitis: is a fungal meningitis, most commonly cryptococcus. Healthy people do not easily get this fungus-related meningitis, which generally occurs in people infected with HIV and is a common symptom of AIDS patients, so it is an immunodeficiency virus that can cause AIDS patients.

Encephalitis is a surgical disease, and the main reason why patients have such a disease is due to bacterial invasion and infection. Of course, the virus that causes meningitis may be different for different people, but whatever the cause, timely diagnosis and ** are the key. People of any age and gender can have the potential to suffer from this disease.

Therefore, once you have a high fever, do not treat it as a common cold and go to the hospital for a check-up**.

Symptoms such as fever, nausea, and vomiting may occur. Loss of appetite, irritability, crying, and sluggishness may also occur. It is necessary to seek medical attention in time and go to the neurology department for examination.

Persistent fever.

After the child is infected with encephalitis, one of the more obvious adverse symptoms is that it will induce some adverse symptoms such as high fever that does not go away, and then cause the child's body temperature to persist above 39, and then induce some serious consequences such as headache and unconsciousness, as well as febrile syncope.

The symptoms of encephalitis in children mainly include fever, nausea, vomiting, crying, dizziness, headache, etc., and some children have encephalitis, and may also have convulsions of the limbs, impaired consciousness, trismus, etc. Once encephalitis occurs, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time, and you can go to the neurology department to improve the relevant examinations, and the commonly used examination methods mainly include cerebrospinal fluid examination, including cerebrospinal fluid routine and biochemical examinations, and cranial imaging examination is also essential. After the diagnosis is confirmed, it is necessary to carry out active **, some patients need to use antiviral drugs, some need immunosuppressants, etc.

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.

Encephalitis and tuberculous encephalitis, the first two are the most common, and the severity of encephalitis depends mainly on the part of the nervous system of infection, symptoms. Catch a cold, miss the best time.

My baby had a cold not long ago, began to have a high fever, and then the high fever subsided and began to have a low-grade fever, suddenly one day he always sleeps, wakes up and does not eat, drink some milk powder and vomit, after doing EEG, the doctor said that it is mild encephalitis, as if children are more likely to cause this disease when they have a cold.

In the prodromal stage, the child has fever, headache, myalgia, vomiting, diarrhea and other manifestations.

1. Systemic symptoms: such as fever, fatigue and other poor mental state;

2. Symptoms of the whole brain: such as headache, nausea, vomiting, and even some serious epilepsy, convulsions, and some may cause coma, resulting in the occurrence of consciousness disorders;

All encephalitis has convulsions, projectile vomiting, crying, and some are accompanied by high fever and even coma.
