| What items do you need to check for epidemic encephalitis? What are the diagnostic methods for epidemic encephalitis? |
1. Blood picture
The total number of white blood cells is increased, and neutrophils are above 80%. In a few light patients in the late epidemic, the blood picture can be within the normal range.
2. Cerebrospinal fluid
It is colorless and transparent, the pressure is only slightly increased, and the white blood cell count is increased. Neutrophils are predominant in the first 2 to 3 days of the disease, and mononuclear cells increase in the future. The sugar is normal or high, the protein is often slightly elevated, and the chloride is normal. Cerebrospinal fluid examination can be negative in a few cases within 1 to 3 days of the disease.
