Encephalitis is usually caused by pathogens, almost all of which are caused by viruses. And we know that the incidence rate of encephalitis is related to the gender and age of the patients. As for the symptoms of encephalitis patients generally have fever, fainting and so on. Now let's talk about why the total encephalitis.

Why is total encephalitis

First, encephalitis refers to the inflammatory lesions caused by the invasion of pathogens in the brain parenchyma. Most of the causes are viruses, which can also be caused by bacteria, molds, spirochetes, Rickettsia, parasites and other infections. Some may be allergic diseases, such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. The so-called encephalitis usually refers to viral encephalitis and post infectious encephalomyelitis which belongs to acute disseminated encephalomyelitis.

Clinically, it is characterized by high fever, headache, vomiting, coma, convulsion and other symptoms, most of which are accompanied by changes in the composition of cerebrospinal fluid. Prevention and treatment should be carried out according to different causes. Viral encephalitis virus has no cellular structure.

Third: disturbance of consciousness, meningeal stimulation. Can appear neck muscle and scapular muscle flaccid paralysis, so that the head droops and the arm can not be raised, shake without. The involvement of cranial nerves and lower limbs is rare. Paralysis can be recovered in 2-3 weeks, about half of the muscles atrophy. Mild cases may have no obvious neurological symptoms. Because of the different location and degree of the lesions, there are various manifestations. Diffuse encephalitis often begins with general discomfort, and then comes to coma, convulsion and fever.
