Japanese encephalitis is an infectious disease with neurological phenomena. This condition occurs in East Asia. Causes is the Japanese encephalitis virus, a flavivirus.
Transfer takes place mainly by the nascent Mule Culex tritaeniorhynchus. Pigs and wild birds are the reservoir. The Japanese encephalitis virus occurs predominantly in rural areas, in urban areas the virus is generally absent. The disease may vary from asymptomatic or flu-like image to severe encephalitis with high fever, convulsions, paralysis and eventually even coma and death. Treatment includes supportive care. A pervasive infection leads to lifelong immunity. Vaccination against Japanese encephalitis is possible.
