Voorbeelden van encephalitis

• Bayesian approaches for monitoring clinical trials with an application to toxoplasmic encephalitis prophylaxis.

• The disease is more severe in infants and adults with death resulting from encephalitis or pneumonia.

• Another approach has been the immunization of patients with beta-amyloid, but development has halted as a result of encephalitis in some patients receiving the immunization.

• None of the horses with aetiologically unclear nonsuppurative encephalitis showed amplification products.

• The characteristic histopathological feature was a meningo-encephalitis which was characterized by involvement of the meninges and brain by foci of subacute/chronic inflammation.

• In most patients the infection is asymptomatic or presented as a nonspecific febrile illness; encephalitis may develop instead in more severe cases.

• Efficient transmission of tick-borne encephalitis virus between cofeeding ticks.

• Fatal encephalitis in children or young adults is rare.

• In industrialized countries up to 10 % of measles cases are associated with complications, the most common being otitis media, pneumonia, encephalitis, and mortality [2].

• If diagnostic uncertainty remains, may need to perform lumbar puncture (to help exclude encephalitis or meningitis).

• Neurological complication occurred in 23 patients (18 %), seizures in 14, stroke in 10, choreoathetosis, tremor and encephalitis in one case each.

• Nevertheless, complications such as orchitis, meningitis and encephalitis occur frequently [1, 2].

• Seasonal synchrony : the key to tick-borne encephalitis foci identified by satellite data.

• With encephalitis, patients may be quiet and withdrawn, confused, drowsy or deeply comatose [31, 32].

• Selection criteria were unexplained deaths or encephalitis in birds, and encephalomyelitis in horses.
