Adenoviral encephalitis - what does this mean
Adenoviral encephalitis is caused by an infection of the brain by a virus from the family adenoviridae. it is most commonly seen in young children and is characterized by fever, seizures, confusion, headache, and vomiting. in some cases, it can cause severe neurological symptoms and even death.
What happens during the disease - adenoviral encephalitis
Adenoviral encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain caused by infection with an adenovirus. the virus enters the body through the respiratory tract and travels to the brain, where it replicates and causes inflammation. in some cases, the virus can spread to the meninges (the protective membranes around the brain) and cause further inflammation and damage to the brain tissue. this can lead to a variety of neurological symptoms, including seizures, confusion, and changes in behavior.
