MODERN METHODS OF TREATMENT OF ENCEPHALITIS COMPLICATIONS IN CHILDREN

Encephalitis in children is an inflammation of brain tissue caused by infectious, autoimmune, or paraneoplastic factors. The disease is manifested by focal abnormalities, seizure syndrome, and meningeal signs. Nonspecific symptoms include fever, malaise, respiratory and dyspeptic disorders.
