Acute encephalitis Syndrome spreads in the summer and humid season. It is also known as brain fever, Japanese fever, and is called as Chamki fever in some parts of India.
Recently this fever created havoc in the state of Bihar in India. Most of the death toll was the children in the age group of 1 to 10 years. All the patients reported similar symptoms. Suddenly the blood sugar of the children dropped after the fever, which led to death.
The symptoms and reasons for acute encephalitis are as follows.
What is Acute Encephalitis?
The problem of encephalitis is related to the brain. There are millions of cells and nerves in the brain due to which the different parts and functions of the body are controlled.
The syndrome of acute encephalitis occurs when these cells and nerves get swollen. The virus of the disease reaches the body and gets mixed up with blood. Here the virus starts multiplying through breeding. This virus reaches the brain through the blood and causes swelling in the cells and nerves. This development damages the central nervous system of the body.
Immediate Treatment Required
It is a serious and dangerous disease, which requires immediate treatment. The delay increases the risk of death. This disease affects adults and old people too.
Relation of Lychee and Brain Fever
The reports revealed that in the beginning some of the children had eaten lychee fruit. Then the research was diverted towards the cause that whether the brain fever was caused by the lychee fruit.
The unripe and half-ripe lychee contains the contents of Hypo-glycine A and Methelone Cyclo-propyl Glycine. The level of blood sugar goes down after remaining hungry or empty stomach for a long time. If the lychee fruit is eaten in such a condition, the blood sugar will go down further and the condition will become fatal.
The Symptoms of Encephalitis
The symptoms are light or heavy headache, sudden fever which does not come down, pain in entire body, nausea and vomiting, feeling of acute tiredness, sleepiness, loss of consciousness, darkness before the eyes, problem in hearing, improper functioning of brain, absurd behavior and talk, pain in back and general weakness.
Safety Measures
Keep the surroundings clean, properly feed the children a night, drink enough water, and don’t remain without water in hot and humid weather as dehydration also decreases the levels of blood sugar. Properly wash the fruits and vegetables before eating.
Instead of taking any medicine on your own, it is advisable to immediately consult the physician.
Use the face mask before going out of the house.
