Encephalitis?
Do most people who contract
tripple E (EEE) can fight the
virus off and prevent
Encephalitis?
Also, once the virus is out of
your body, is it really
permenantly out, or can it
dorm in your body?
My primary fear is
Encephalitis.

The majority of human infections are asymptomatic or may result in a nonspecific flu-like syndrome. Onset may be insidious or sudden with fever, headache, myalgias, malaise and occasionally prostration. Infection may, however, lead to encephalitis, with a fatal outcome or permanent neurologic sequelae. Fortunately, only a small proportion of infected persons progress to frank encephalitis. How can I get more information on EEE? Contact your local health department or visit the Mosquito Management Website or the toll free information line (866) WNV-LINE. For specific questions on human infections, contact the Connecticut Department of Public Health at (860) 509-7994. |

How long could swelling last We recently had a prognosis of
hsv encephalitis. Still
hospitalized and on day 14 of
Acyclovior, clinically showing
improvment. We have had
several MRIs and EEG, seems
like the EEGs are getting
somewhat better, but the MRI
still shows no change. How
long could we expect swelling
to remain?

There is no answer. every case is entirely indiviual. I've seen one case where the patient was copmpletely better in a week. And other cases where the person never came out of a coma. I have one case in the hospital right now - it's been one week, and no useful movement. Best advice - wait one month - expect that by one month you'll have about 90% of the recovery that will ever occur. It's just a waiting game - there is no way for anyone to tell you when the patient is going to get better - or IF he's going to get better. |

How many doses of Japanese I am going to India in a few
weeks time and was told I will
need immunising against
japanese encephalitis. I have
had two doses of the vaccine
and have an appointment
tomorrow for the 3rd dose, but
I was wondering if it is
really worth having the 3rd
dose? Is it safe to just have
two doses? As I heard
somewhere that 2 doses gives
you about 80% protection and
that 3 doses doesn't even give
100 % protection anyway.
Thanks
