| encephalitis periaxialis concentrica | Encephalitis that is clinically similar to adrenoleukodystrophy, but pathologically characterised by concentric globes or circles of demyelination of cerebral white matter separated by normal tissue. Synonym: Balo's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| encephalitis periaxialis diffusa | Term used to describe at least two separate disorders described by Schilder: 1) Diffuse sclerosis or encephalitis periaxialis diffusa; a nonfamilial disorder affecting primarily children and young adults and characterised by progressive dementia, visual disturbances, deafness, pseudobulbar palsy, and hemiplegia or quadriplegia. Most patients die within a few years of onset; pathologically, there is a large, asymmetrical area of myelin destruction, sometimes involving an entire cerebral hemisphere, and typically with extension across the corpus callosum. 2) The leukodystrophies. Synonym: encephalitis periaxialis diffusa, Flatau-Schilder disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalitis pyogenica | Encephalitis of bacterial aetiology. Synonym: encephalitis pyogenica, purulent encephalitis, suppurative encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalitis, st. louis | A form of epidemic encephalitis, clinically similar to western equine encephalitis, occurring in late summer and early fall and transmitted usually by mosquitoes of the genus culex. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis subcorticalis chronica | One of the causes of multiinfarct dementia, in which there are many infarcts and lacunes in the white matter, with relative sparing of the cortex and basal ganglia. Synonym: Binswanger's encephalopathy, encephalitis subcorticalis chronica, subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalitis, tick-borne | A disease caused by tick-borne encephalitis virus, a species of flavivirus, and a member of the subgroup encephalitis viruses, tick-borne. Tick-borne encephalitis appears to be a spectrum of disease caused by two related viruses: the european subtype - central european encephalitis virus and the eastern subtype - russian spring-summer encephalitis virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis, viral | Inflammation of the brain caused by viruses. When this is caused by encephalitis viruses, a group of arboviruses, it is referred to as epidemic encephalitis (encephalitis, epidemic). Other viruses, including some herpes viruses, also cause viral encephalitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis virus | Any one of a variety of virus's that cause encephalitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| encephalitis virus, eastern equine | A species of alphavirus causing encephalomyelitis in equidae and humans. The virus ranges along the atlantic seaboard of the united states and canada and as far south as the caribbean, mexico, and parts of central and south america. Infections in horses show a mortality of up to 90 percent and in humans as high as 80 percent in epidemics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis viruses | A collection of single-stranded RNA viruses scattered across the bunyaviridae, flaviviridae, and togaviridae families whose common property is the ability to induce encephalitic conditions in infected hosts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis viruses, tick-borne | A subgroup of the genus flavivirus that causes encephalitis and haemorrhagic fevers and is found in eastern and western europe and the former soviet union. It is transmitted by tick vectors and there is an associated milk-borne transmission from viraemic cattle, goats, and sheep. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis virus, murray valley | A species of flavivirus, one of the japanese encephalitis virus group (encephalitis viruses, japanese), found in Australia and new guinea. It causes a fulminating viraemia resembling japanese encephalitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis virus, st. louis | A species of flavivirus, one of the japanese encephalitis virus group (encephalitis viruses, japanese), which is the aetiologic agent of st. Louis encephalitis in the united states, the caribbean, and central and south america. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis virus, venezuelan equine | A species of alphavirus that is the aetiologic agent of equine encephalomyelitis in humans and equines. It is seen most commonly in parts of central and south america. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis virus, western equine | A species of alphavirus that is the aetiologic agent of equine encephalomyelitis in humans and equines in the united states, southern canada, and parts of south america. (12 Dec 1998) |
