PECULIARITIES OF THE CLINICAL PICTURE OF VIRAL ENCEPHALITIS IN ADULTS

Аннотация

Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain parenchyma resulting from direct viral invasion or as a postinfectious immunologic complication caused by a hypersensitivity reaction to a virus or other foreign protein. Patients with encephalitis in most cases need long-term treatment in a specialized hospital, require numerous expensive diagnostic tests and often have adverse clinical outcomes, including disability and death, which may be due to inadequate approaches to diagnosis and management of this category of patients.
