Abstract
The paper presents the analysis of a study of children with secondary encephalitis, depending on the beginning of the acute period of which more than 6 months – a year has passed, the degree of neurological disorders, neuroimaging comparison and prediction depending on these indicators for timely neurometabolic therapy.
The purpose of our study was to study the complex prognosis of the consequences of secondary encephalitis in children. We observed 58 children with a consequence of encephalitis.
The total number of girls is 37 %, boys are 63 % which are the main group of patients. The control group of children are healthy identical in age 3‒10 years. All children admitted to the hospital underwent a standard examination, anamnesis, clinical and neurological examination, and neuroimaging (MRI, CT) studies. In addition, all children were determined on electromyography somatosensory evoked potential, including at admission, as well as at discharge.
The results of our study revealed that the prognosis only for clinical and neurological disorders gives 66.2 %, with the addition of neuroimaging assessment increased to 79 %, and meningial-somatosensory indicators still increases the forecast by 12 %, which is very important for timely neurometabolic therapy. In turn, the prognosis of the outcome of encephalitis in children will allow timely reduction of residual neurological manifestations.
