DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS AND PROGNOSIS IN CHILDREN WITH ENCEPHALITIS AND CEREBRAL PALSY AFTER NEUROINFECTION
Abstract
Encephalitis and cerebral palsy (CP) are among the most serious neurological disorders that can occur in children after a neuroinfection. Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain caused by infectious or autoimmune processes, while CP is a group of permanent motor disorders resulting from brain damage in early development. Both conditions can have significant impacts on children's health and quality of life, making accurate diagnosis and prognosis crucial. This article will explore the methods of differential diagnosis and prognosis in children with encephalitis and CP after a neuroinfection.
