21. St. Louis Encephalitis (SLE) Summary St. Louis encephalitis (SLE), named for the city where the first cases were recognized in 1933, is the most common variety of viral encephalitis in the USA http://www.premier-net.com/Health/disease/encephalitis/SLE.html

Summary: St. Louis encephalitis (SLE), named for the city where the first cases were recognized in 1933, is the most common variety of viral encephalitis in the USA. Most people who are infected with the virus never show any outward symptoms. Those who do exhibit symptoms face a very serious threat to life. The symptoms of SLE are generally flu-like, with fever, headaches and lethargy. Severe cases of SLE can cause seizures, double-vision, paralysis and death. The elderly and the young are most at risk from SLE. As many as 30% of elderly patients infected with SLE die. The agent that causes St. Louis encephalitis is a virus, thus antibiotic treatments are not effective. There is no vaccine for the virus and (like all viruses) there is no cure. Contact a Health Care Professional Immediately: Elderly and children who exhibit flu-like symptoms during a known outbreak of encephalitis should contact their Health Care Provider immediately. Source of Infection/Mode of Transmission: The virus that causes St. Louis encephalitis in humans is thought to occur naturally in birds. It is transmitted among birds and between birds and other animals by blood-feeding mosquitoes. The SLE virus is not known to cause disease in birds and once infected individual birds are immune to further infection. Significant quantities of the virus are evident in birds 1-2 days following infection with viral levels falling rapidly 1-3 days later. The virus is transmitted to man and other hosts by short-lived mosquitoes of the genus

KidsHealth Teens Infections Maybe you know someone who's had encephalitis, which is an inflammation of the brain. Encephalitis is usually caused by a virus , but other things, including bacteria, may cause it as well. Although encephalitis sounds scary, understanding its causes, symptoms, and treatment can help you feel more prepared to deal with it if you ever need to. What Is Encephalitis? Encephalitis (pronounced: en-seh-fuh- lie -tus) usually refers to brain inflammation caused by a viral infection. This inflammation often involves swelling and pain. Although encephalitis is rare, it can occur with or following common childhood infections like chicken pox, mumps, measles, and mononucleosis . One of the most dangerous viruses that can cause encephalitis is the herpes simplex virus (HSV). This is the same virus that causes cold sores around the mouth, but when it attacks the brain it is very serious. Although many people get cold sores, this type of encephalitis is rare. Some forms of encephalitis are transmitted by insects . A mosquito, for example, can carry the equine encephalitis virus, which is common in certain parts of the United States in the summer. Mosquitoes in the United States and other parts of the world also can transmit the

NEW YORK (AP) Health officials said they had found no evidence of a feared outbreak of viral encephalitis on Staten Island in New York, but would continue investigating the cause of illness in five people. On Saturday, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene said it was concerned about an outbreak of the potentially deadly illness after five people were hospitalized with symptoms consistent with encephalitis, an inflammation of brain tissue. One of those people was released from the hospital, and two others were found to have underlying health conditions that explained their illnesses. The two remaining patients were still in critical condition Sunday with encephalitis-like symptoms. The cause of their illnesses hadn't been determined, and it was unknown if their cases were related. Health Commissioner Thomas Frieden said the health department would continue to examine the illnesses in search of an explanation, but he ruled out the possibility of an outbreak.

Encephalitis Identifying the specific cause is key to effective management Kathleen M. Gutierrez, MD; Charles G. Prober, MD VOL 103 / NO 3 / MARCH 1998 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE This page is best viewed with a browser that supports tables This is the second of three articles on CNS Infections Preview : Encephalitis affects persons in all age-groups and can result from a myriad of infectious and noninfectious causes. Depending on the cause, the outcome may be benign or in some cases fatal. So where do you start in the process of paring down the diagnostic possibilities? Drs Gutierrez and Prober describe the key clinical features of this potentially life-threatening disease and recommend a comprehensive approach to diagnostic evaluation. E ncephalitis is an acute inflammatory process that affects brain tissue and is almost always accompanied by inflammation of the adjacent meninges. The disease is most commonly caused by viral infection. Encephalitis resulting from viral infection manifests as either acute viral encephalitis or postinfectious encephalomyelitis. Acute viral encephalitis is caused by direct viral infection of neural cells with associated perivascular inflammation and destruction of gray matter. Postinfectious encephalomyelitis follows infection with various viral or bacterial agents; the primary pathologic finding is demyelination of white matter. In the United States, the annual incidence of encephalitis is about 1 in 200,000. Children, the elderly, and immunocompromised persons are most commonly affected (1). Acute encephalitis is more common in the first year of life; in contrast, postinfectious encephalomyelitis is rare in infancy. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2), 717 cases of primary infectious encephalitis and 143 cases of post-infectious encephalomyelitis were reported in 1994; these numbers likely underestimate the true incidence of disease. Encephalitis was deleted from the list of nationally notifiable diseases in 1995.
