Viral encephalitis
Viral encephalitis is a relatively serious inflammation of the brain, mainly caused by various viral infections, which can cause patients to have clinical symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, and meningeal irritation. If the meninges or arachnoid membranes are affected at the same time, it is called viral meningoencephalitis; viral infection only causes soft meninges or arachnoid membranes, called viral meningitis, and the clinical manifestations are mainly fever, headache, vomiting, drowsiness, convulsions, and some patients with viral encephalitis can have epileptic symptoms, and physical examination is mainly to find positive signs of meningeal irritation. Clinically, viral encephalitis is mostly caused by enterovirus infection. Viral encephalitis is a relatively common disease in neurological disorders. In life, viruses are everywhere. There is a virus in our body, especially in the nasal cavity or in the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, but we are not infected by the virus. When the body's functions are reduced, or the resistance is reduced, the virus easily enters the body, breaking through the blood-brain barrier and entering the brain, causing disease to occur.
Predisposing factors for viral encephalitis
In general, patients prone to viral encephalitis are people with relatively low autoimmunity. Such as: immune deficiencies; long-term use of some immunosuppressants; patients with connective tissue disease; organ transplantation patients. In addition, people with poor immunity are also prone to viral encephalitis if they are overworked or have a cold. Patients with viral encephalitis generally do not recur after recovery from regular treatment. Experts remind that modern society competition pressure, must pay attention to good rest, adults should ensure 7-9 hours of sleep a day, and should develop good sleep habits. Be careful not to stay up late. On weekdays, it is necessary to strengthen exercise, eat healthy diet, eat less foods with high oil and high salt, improve immunity, and stay away from virus invasion.
