A Comparison of Clinical and Radiological Findings in Adults and Children With Japanese Encephalitis

Abstract

Children with JE are more likely to have dystonia and a poor outcome at 6 months compared with adults. The difference in clinical findings and outcome in children and adults with JE may be owing to immunological factors, maturation of the central nervous system, and neuronal plasticity.

A Profile Study of Japanese Encephalitis in an Industrial Hospital in Eastern India

“…Neuroimaging with NCCT brain revealed abnormalities in five (35.7%) patients, while MRI brain was abnormal in 13 patients (92.8%). Our findings were similar to those in a study by Kalita et al [ 14 ] in patients with JE. In their study, abnormalities were seen in 38.7% of adult patients with JE on CT and 90.6% of adult patients on MRI.…”

Neuroimaging in Japanese encephalitis and their correlation with clinical profile in pediatric patients

“…The brunt of abnormalities in this retrospective observational study was noted in the form of thalamic and basal ganglia hypo densities. Our findings were in line with Mishra et al and Kalita et al, though the incidence of the abnormalities in their patients was much lower [8,9].…”

Oromandibular dystonia in encephalitis

“…It may be due to the important role of orobuccal and lingual functions which are important determinant of activities of daily living. The improvement in OMD is consistent with the natural history of encephalitis in which most movement disorders have a regressive course and milder ones may recover completely [11,12].…”
