Other specified viral infections of central nervous system - what does this mean
Other specified viral infections of the central nervous system occur when a virus enters the body and travels to the brain and/or spinal cord, where it multiplies and causes inflammation and tissue damage. this can lead to a variety of symptoms, including fever, headache, confusion, and difficulty with movement.
What happens during the disease - other specified viral infections of central nervous system
Other specified viral infections of the central nervous system are caused by viruses that infect the brain, spinal cord, and/or the meninges. these viruses can enter the body through the nose, mouth, or other areas of the body and then travel to the central nervous system via the bloodstream. once the virus has reached the central nervous system, it can cause inflammation, which can lead to a variety of symptoms, including fever, headache, confusion, and even seizures. treatment typically involves antiviral medications, which can help to reduce the severity of the symptoms and prevent further spread of the virus.
