Clinical Profile and Outcome of Japanese Encephalitis in children Admitted with acute Encephalitis Syndrome in a tertiary Care hospital in Gaya, India
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) is an important cause of mortality morbidity in children. We undertook the study for better understanding of clinical profile and outcome of AES in our settings. We retrospectively evaluated 151 Patients of AES admitted in our institute from June 2016 to Nov 2016 by evaluating their outcomes using the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). Among 151 cases AES patients, 40(26.4%) were recovered completely (GOS V), while 68(45.5%) case had neurological sequelae (GOSII-IV) with a wide range of severity varying from mild to severe at the time of discharge. 43 (28.4%) patient died in the hospital (GOS I). Use of mechanical ventilation, lower Glasgow coma score, and concurrent seizures are predictors for a poor outcome.
