Dr. Rahul Gupta, Himani Bansal

Abstract :

Japanese encephalitis is an infection of central nervous system. It is caused by the JE virus (JEV) which belongs to the family of Flavivirus, and is more common in the rural parts of Asia. The clinical manifestations of JEV are fever, headache, vomiting followed by altered mental status, seizures, flaccid paralysis, extrapyramidal sign and cranial nerve involvement. The diagnostic tests include serum IgM against JEV and CT scan. However only supportive management can be given because there is a lack of specific antiviral therapy. The current case report is aimed to present a 17 years old female diagnosed with Japanese encephalitis at a tertiary medical centre of Madhya Pradesh.
