RASMUSSEN'S ENCEPHALITIS
Welcome to . RASMUSSEN S encephalitis. SUPPORT NETWORK. Patricia Jones, Executive Director Rasmussen s encephalitis Support Network. (719) 282-3333.
http://www.medhelp.org/www/rasm.htm

Extractions: Rasmussen's Encephalitis (abbreviated to RE here) is an extremely rare, progressive, central nervous system disorder, characterized by seizures, hemiparesis (paralysis on one side), inflammation of the brain, and mental deterioration. RE is also known as Rasmussen's Syndrome and Rasmussen's Disease. This disorder occurs almost exclusively in children under the age of 10. Since this disease was first given its name in 1958, the number of cases recorded in medical literature is very small. It is reasonable to assume, however, that there are cases which have not yet been identified as RE. The cause of RE is unknown, although some cases are thought to follow viral infections, such as influenza and measles, and perhaps head injury. Until very recently, the ultimately customary treatment has been hemispherectomy (excising the affected area of the brain). Since the victims are mostly young children, the remaining areas of the brain can often learn to perform some tasks that the removed section performed, and often the young patients resume a normal lifestyle with little or no restrictions or handicaps. An adult brain usually cannot learn new tasks in this manner. Where this procedure was contra-indicated, and sometimes even when performed, the prognosis for Rasmussen's patients has been poor. During the past few years, an autoimmune relationship to RE has been discovered. In some cases, treatments of immune globulin (IVIG) infusion has shown varying degrees of effectiveness in halting progress of this disease; in a few cases, some lost functionality has been restored. In cases where seizures had been debilitating, results of IVIG have ranged from moderate improvement to near-elimination of seizures. It is thought that the immune globulin counters the autoimmune attack by apparently confusing the patient's own antibodies enough that they suspend their activity. This treatment may have to be continued on a semi-regular basis (monthly, bi-monthly, or whatever patient seems to need) for a considerable period of time, and possibly for the rest of the patient's life. As this method of treatment is new, long-term effectiveness has not yet been determined.

Inactivated Japanese Encephalitis Virus Vaccine (JE-VAX) - Health Information
Inactivated Japanese encephalitis Virus Vaccine (JEVAX). Rev. 02-21-02. Hed-hand - Inactivated Japanese encephalitis Virus Vaccine (JE-VAX).
http://www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/health-info/dis-cond/vacimmun/jap-ence.html

Extractions: Inactivated Japanese Encephalitis Virus Vaccine (JE-VAX) Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is a mosquito-borne viral infection causing inflammation or swelling of the brain. Not all infected persons will develop the disease; however those who do may have serious central nervous system problems, and the case fatality rate may be as high as 30%. JE is transmitted seasonally (May to September) in temperate regions of Asia. In tropical areas, transmission may occur year around. (See map for range - dark shaded area.) Personal precautions should be taken to avoid exposure to mosquito bites. To reduce your contact with mosquitoes, remain in well-screened areas, use mosquito nets, and wear clothes that cover most of the body. It is recommended that you use insect repellent on any exposed areas of the skin. The most effective repellents contain a concentration of at least 30% N,N-diethylmetatoluamide (DEET), which is available in many commercial insect repellents. DEET may be absorbed through the skin into the systemic circulation, and toxic and allergic reactions have been reported. Since long-term effects are unknown, prolonged or excessive application of any insect repellent should be avoided. DEET should not be used on pregnant women or on children. Risk for acquiring JE among most travelers is extremely low. Vaccination should be considered only by people who plan to live in areas where JE is endemic or epidemic and by travelers whose activities include trips into rural, farming areas. Individual circumstances (season, location, duration of travel, activities) must be considered.
