Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
Encephalitis is a neurological disease cause by various agents, which may be viral, bacterial, amebic, parasitic, fungal etc. Again, Immune mediated cause may also be the factor. Our study tried to check the severity risk group of encephalitis in between pediatric and adult group. The study was conduct at district public health laboratory (IDSP) of Lakhimpur district of Assam, India. The data were collected and analyzed from January 2012 to April 2016. It was observed that though the both age groups were affected by the disease but mortality rate is higher in pediatric group. Again, sex wise observation showed that male group was in high risk in comparison with female in both pediatric and adult age group. It was observed in JE test result that maximum JE positive patients were from pediatric age group. To control/treatment the disease patient etiology must be known by the treating physician.
