Arboviral Encephalitis01:25

Arboviral Encephalitis

1
Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...

Diphtheria

16
Diphtheria is an acute, toxin-mediated infectious disease that primarily affects the upper respiratory tract. It is caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, a Gram-positive, pleomorphic rod that lacks spore-forming capability and exhibits a characteristic club-shaped morphology under microscopic examination. While C. diphtheriae can asymptomatically colonize mucosal surfaces, clinical disease manifests only when the bacterial strain is lysogenized by a specific β-corynephage. This phage...

Antiepileptic Drugs: Glutamate Antagonists

1.2K
Glutamate is a fundamental neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, playing a vital role in neuronal communication and various cognitive processes. Glutamate stands as the principal excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain. Its presence is crucial for the communication between neurons, underpinning essential processes such as synaptic transmission, neuronal excitability, and plasticity. These functions are vital for higher-order cognitive processes, including learning and memory. The...

Viral Meningitis01:18

Viral Meningitis

2
Viral meningitis is the most common form of meningitis and is often referred to as aseptic meningitis to indicate the absence of bacterial involvement. It is generally milder than bacterial meningitis, with symptoms including fever, headache, stiff neck, drowsiness, nausea, photophobia, and vomiting. Rarely, more severe manifestations or death may occur. Common causative agents include enteroviruses, particularly coxsackie A and B viruses and echoviruses, all members of the Enterovirus genus...

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (anti-NMDAR) encephalitis is an emerging autoimmune neurological disorder.
    • It primarily affects young females, characterized by a distinct clinical progression.

    Observation:

    • Patients exhibit initial psychiatric manifestations followed by seizures, movement disorders, and autonomic instability.
    • The characteristic electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern, known as extreme delta brush, is a significant diagnostic clue.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis relies on identifying NMDAR antibodies in serum and cerebrospinal fluid.
    • The extreme delta brush pattern on EEG is highly suggestive of anti-NMDAR encephalitis.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and diagnosis are crucial for timely treatment and improved patient outcomes.
    • Neurodiagnostic technologists play a vital role in identifying the characteristic EEG pattern.
    • Understanding this condition aids in managing autoimmune encephalitis and its neurological sequelae.
