AIDS Dementia Complex "ADC" "dementia" "sub acute encephalitis" "HIV encephalitis" This is part of a series on Opportunistic Infections . Please note that This Page Is Just A Starting Point: who specializes in treating HIV. Finding The Latest Information: Advances in treating opportunistic infections can happen at any time, so the material on this page may be outdated. Some links in the see also section at the bottom of this page are actually special database links. They may contain information published after this page was written. Classification AIDS Dementia Comples (ADS) is not a true opportunistic infection. It is one of the few conditions caused directly by the HIV virus. Description The central nervous system can be damaged by a number of things opportunistic infections; direct effects of HIV in the brain; toxic effects of drug treatments. Those with ADC have HIV-infected macrophages in the brain. That means HIV is actively infecting brain cells. Symptoms: Early symptoms of AIDS Dementia can be confused with general manifestations of clinical depression. These include apathy, loss of interest in one's surroundings and the like. Later symptoms involve cognitive and motor problems. Memory loss, as well as mobility problems, come into the picture. ( Being Alive The US Centers For Disease Control considers HIV encephalopathy (dementia) an AIDS-defining condition Danger Zone A.D.C. can happen at

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

Title WEST NILE EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS: AN EMERGING DISEASE IN ITALY? Author C.Macchi Issue Year 2 - n.1 - February 1999 Subject ENCEPHALITIS Equine encephalitides This name comprises several diseases, having all similar clinical features, mainly concerning the central nervous system, with a mortality index varying from moderate to high. While considering the recent West Nile equine encephalitis outbreak which involved some stables in the Italian region of Tuscany, we would like to summarise what is currently known both about this virus and about other related arboviruses. We hope this may help gain better knowledge of a disease which is currently causing concern in the Countries of the Mediterranean Basin. Aetiology and pathogenesis Equine encephalitides are caused by arboviruses. These are RNA viruses which have haematophagous arthropods, particularly mosquitoes and ticks, as intermediate hosts. Many of them are pathogenic to man. Arboviruses which are held responsible for equine encephalitides belong to two families: Togaviridae and Flaviviridae . The first ones cause the three most widespread encephalitides in the Americas: Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), Western Equine Encephalitis (WEE), and Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE). Among the flaviviruses are the virus of Japanese Encephalitis (JE)

August 09, 1991 / 40(31);533-535 Epidemiologic Notes and Reports Eastern Equine Encephalitis Florida, Eastern United States, 1991 The Florida Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (HRS) has confirmed five human cases of eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) in elderly residents of Bradford, Duval, and Washington counties in northern Florida (Figure 1). Dates of illness onset were in mid-June and early July (Figure 2). One patient partially recovered and has residual neurologic deficits, two patients remain comatose, and the other two patients died. From July 1 through July 19, the Duval, Bradford, Leon, and Saint Johns county health departments issued public health alerts after high seroconversion rates in sentinel chicken flocks were detected or after human or equine cases were confirmed. On July 26, the Florida HRS issued an alert for all counties in the state's panhandle. Local mosquito-control districts in affected counties have increased applications of adulticides. Although human EEE cases have been reported only from northern Florida, an extensive epizootic in horses has been observed over a wide area of the southeastern United States (Figure 1). As of July 29, 246 laboratory-confirmed equine cases and more than 80 unconfirmed but histopathologically compatible equine cases have been reported. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services has reported 173 equine cases scattered statewide; 70 of these were reported by the beginning of Julythe most ever reported in a season by this time (Figure 2). Subsequently, a new state rule requiring reporting of equine cases was promulgated.

Die Infektion Das Krankheitsbild Die Diagnose Die Therapie Vorsorge / Prophylaxe Die Frühsommer-Meningo-Encephalitis ist eine Entzündung des Gehirns. Sie wird durch Viren hervorgerufen. Diese sind in der Tierwelt als Krankheitserreger dauerhaft etabliert und werden auf den Menschen gelegentlich durch Zecken übertragen. Das Vollbild der Erkrankung ist zwar relativ selten, kann aber doch bei Patienten zu schweren Schäden oder zum Tod führen. Die Infektion: Die Infektion erfolgt durch den Biß einer mit FSME-Viren infizierten Zecke. Das Infektionsrisiko ist insgesamt gering, da selbst in Hauptverbreitungsgebieten nur jede 50. bis 100. Zecke Virusträger ist und nur ein kleiner Teil der Infektion beim Menschen angeht. Bei über der Hälfte der Infizierten verläuft die Erkrankung völlig unbemerkt und ohne Folgen. Die FSME-Viren werden in der Regel sofort übertragen, trotzdem sollte jede Zecke sofort entfernt werden, z.B. mit Pinzette oder anderen mechanischen Hilfsmitteln, nicht mit Öl oder ähnlichem. Das Krankheitsbild: Nach FSME-Virus-Übertragung kann es ein bis zwei Wochen nach dem Biß zu einem grippalen Krankheitsbild kommen. In einem Teil der Fälle kann es nach einem kurzen beschwerdefreien Intervall zu Komplikationen am Gehirn kommen, die sich in starken Kopfschmerzen, Nackensteifigkeit, Verwirrtheit oder Bewußtseinsverlust äußern und mit Fieber einhergehen können.

Credits Encephalitis Topic Overview What is encephalitis? Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain in response to an infection that can be caused by a variety of agents, usually viruses. Viruses that cause cold sores and genital herpes (herpes simplex virus), mumps, measles, chickenpox, mononucleosis (Epstein-Barr virus), influenza, and German measles (rubella) can cause encephalitis. These common viruses usually lead to less serious illnesses, but on rare occasions they can get into the brain and cause encephalitis. Among these types of viral encephalitis, herpes simplex encephalitis is the most common in the United States. Another group of viruses (called arboviruses) that can cause encephalitis is spread mainly by bites from mosquitoes and ticks. Most people who are bitten by infected mosquitoes or ticks do not develop any symptoms, and only a very small number of people who develop symptoms actually develop encephalitis.

59. Arboviral Encephalitis ARBOVIRAL encephalitis. What is arboviral encephalitis? encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain that can be caused by arboviruses http://www.idph.state.il.us/public/hb/hbencepl.htm

ARBOVIRAL ENCEPHALITIS What is arboviral encephalitis? Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain that can be caused by arboviruses (viruses carried by arthropods, such as mosquitoes and ticks) or by other types of viruses. In Illinois, arboviruses are primarily transmitted to humans by the bites of infected mosquitoes. St. Louis encephalitis, West Nile virus and LaCrosse (California) encephalitis are the arboviral diseases most likely to occur in Illinois. These infections are most common in June through October when mosquitoes are active. Although they produce similar symptoms, these viruses vary in severity and, typically, affect different age groups. Fortunately, these types of viruses are transmitted by only a few types of mosquitoes and, usually, only a small proportion of those mosquitoes actually carry the virus. How is arboviral encephalitis spread? Infection with an arbovirus occurs only through the bite of an infected insect. These diseases are not transmitted from person to person. In Illinois, the primary vector (carrier) of St. Louis encephalitis and West Nile virus is the northern house mosquito ( Culex pipiens ). The northern house mosquito breeds in small stagnant bodies of water and receptaclessuch as discarded tin cans, flower urns, old tires, buckets and other containersthat hold water. The mosquitoes are infected with the St. Louis encephalitis and West Nile virus when they bite infected birds.
