[Death caused by viral meningoencephalitis in a caseload of 1052 cases]
Abstract:
1,052 medical records of patients discharged from "Pedro Borrás Astorga" Pediatric Teaching Hospital, with a diagnosis of non-urlean viral meningoencephalitis in the period ranging from October 1, 1985 to March 31, 1986, were reviewed. In this study the medical records of three deaths were particularly analyzed by means of the data of highest interest such as: age, sex, color of skin, length of stay, diagnostic impression at admission, motive of admission, course of the disease, physical examination and complementary procedures, and particularly anatomopathologic results. Conclusions are provided.
Insights
This study reviewed 1,052 cases of non-urlean viral meningoencephalitis in children. Analysis focused on three fatal cases, examining clinical and pathological data to understand disease progression and outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Neurology
- Infectious Diseases
Background:
- Viral meningoencephalitis is a significant pediatric concern.
- Understanding non-urlean viral meningoencephalitis is crucial for effective treatment.
- This study examines a specific cohort from a pediatric teaching hospital.
Observation:
- Reviewed 1,052 medical records of pediatric patients diagnosed with non-urlean viral meningoencephalitis.
- Focused analysis on three cases with fatal outcomes.
- Collected data included patient demographics, clinical presentation, diagnostic impressions, and length of stay.
Findings:
- Detailed analysis of clinical and anatomopathological data from three deaths.
- Identified key factors influencing the course and outcome of the disease.
- The study provides insights into the specific characteristics of non-urlean viral meningoencephalitis in this cohort.
Implications:
- Findings contribute to the understanding of pediatric viral meningoencephalitis.
- May inform diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for similar cases.
- Highlights the importance of comprehensive data analysis in rare pediatric neurological conditions.
