Prevention and early detection of Japanese encephalitis in children

Japanese encephalitis met primarily in children under 15 years (the rate on the 90% of patients) in which the majority is older from 1-5 years but adults can also be affected.

The signs children with Japanese encephalitis

After the incubation period from 5 to 15 days, the disease will appear in three stages:

Even, the patient may be seizures, twitching, tremor in fingers, tongue, body, paralysis or brightening hardware attached to nervous disorders.

If not the doctor treats up then the disturbances increased consciousness and mortality due to increased intracranial pressure. Because the brain inflammation causing the brain edema in the meantime, the skull does not change the volume. The part of the brain to the entrapment of respiratory, cardiovascular control should patients stop breathing, coma, death.

The death rate from 0.3%-60% depending on the detection of the disease sooner or later, the level of emergency resuscitation techniques against brain edema, respiratory failure, cardiac failure and against multiple infection.

The recovery period

If, the patient may recover completely. Some severe cases could paralyse the left on or under the surface, paralysis or mental disorders, emotional instability, changes in personality, intellectual retardation, hydrocephalus or live the life of plant ...

Thus, when young signs of high fever with symptoms related to nerve damage, need to take a visit soon.

The mechanism of transmission and how to prevent Japanese encephalitis

The drive containing the Japanese encephalitis virus is some wild animals such as birds, some reptiles. In addition, some species of animals farmed near people, most importantly pigs, then the cattle, goats, sheep, dogs, and monkeys.

Japanese encephalitis disease spread by blood, due to mosquito bites-animal blood virus infection and burn people, through which the transmission of the virus to people. The virus is transmitted through mosquito's burning stain, from salivary glands that contain viruses.

The mechanism of transmission of Japanese encephalitis

So to prevent this disease is to note, after being infected with Japanese encephalitis virus, pigs do not get sick, but dangerous in that it became a storage space, maintaining virus in nature, and is the most important supply source for mosquitoes brought virus Japanese encephalitis spread to people.

There are many species of mosquitoes capable of transmitting the disease, but is still mainly the mosquito Culex Tritaeniorhynchus and Culex species vishnui. Two species of mosquitoes usually live in rice water and teetering up short will fly to where people and animals live to suck blood. So, the sick room would be the optimal solution.

First of all, in need of sanitation clean, airy. Remove the stagnant water to drive around the place, kill the phasmid to mosquitoes without conditions thrive. If the family has a farm breeding areas should be regular hygiene.

When sleep is located, also need to kill mosquito spraying.
