Atlas of Human Infectious Diseases Quick Summary
SubjectsQuick Description (AI)
Disease
Japanese Encephalitis
Classification
ICD-9 062.0; ICD-10 A83.0
Syndromes and synonyms
japanese b encephalitis.
Agent
japanese encephalitis virus (jev)
Reservoir
wading birds (ardeidae) and domestic pigs; mosquitoes by transovarial transmission and possibly overwintering adults.
Vector
mosquito species
Transmission
by mosquito bite.
Cycle
only ardeid birds and pigs have a sufficient viremia to infect mosquitoes.
Incubation period
6–16 days.
Clinical findings
high fever with headache, chills, neck stiffness, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting developing into aseptic meningitis or encephalitis with disorientation, coma, seizures, spastic paralysis, drowsiness, and stupor. death occurs from respiratory complications or seizures.
Diagnostic tests
igm capture elisa on serum or csf; antibodies can be detected in csf after 4 days of disease onset, and in serum after 7 days.
Therapy
supportive
Prevention
various vaccines are available; personal antimosquito precautions; intermittent irrigation of rice fields disrupts vector breeding; vaccination of pigs reduces amplification.
Epidemiology
jev is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in asia: 35,000 to 50,000 cases are reported annually but this believed to be a significant underestimate of the true disease burden. it is epidemic in temperate parts of asia, linked to the seasonal occurrence of mosquitoes, and endemic in tropical regions of asa due to the year-round mosquito activity. the range of je virus has recently expanded into the torres strait of northern australia, but the disease is rare in western pacific islands.
