Neurologic virus diseases
Some viruses infect the brain and tissues surrounding it, which leads to neurologic viral diseases. Examples of neurologic viral diseases are: Viral meningitis Rabies Polio Viral encephalitis Clinical Manifestation Confusion Seizures Fever Drowsiness Coordination problems Transmission Various neurological viruses transmit after getting bitten by an infected animal or bugs, like ticks and mosquitoes. While viruses like poliovirus and enterovirus are communicable and transmitted when an individual comes in close contact with a person with a virus. These viruses can also get spread through contaminated items. Treatment There is no particular treatment available for a person with mild meningitis or encephalitis. Having OTC anti-inflammatories, taking proper rest, and drinking plenty of water helps to relieve the pain or headaches. In certain cases, physicians may recommend taking antiviral medication. Person suffering from polio or serious viral meningitis or encephalitis may need further medical assistance like breathing assistance and intravenous fluids. If any animal bites someone and is under suspicion to have rabies, a series of shots will be administered to the person, which will prevent the rabies virus from spreading in the body. Prevention Maintaining good hygiene Try to avoid close contact with the person having the virus Preventing ourselves from getting bitten by the insects Keep your pets vaccinated to decrease the spread of rabies and also stay away from wild animals Get a vaccine for both poliovirus and mumps virus |
