Moreover, both children and adults are impacted with this disease.

Arthropod-borne virus: Arbo Virus

Clinical features of the Arbo virus are:

• Neurological symptoms and seizures
• Hyponatremia

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) encephalitis

Clinical symptoms caused by the HSV virus are:

• Fever
• Headache
• Confusion
• Abnormalities in behavior
• localized neurological dysfunction

Analyses for Diagnosis

• The use of neuroimaging
• Electroencephalography (ECG) (ECG)
• CSF Analysis
• Method of polymerase chain reaction

Fungal encephalitis
Fungi like Cryptococcus reformans, Histoplasma aspergillus, Candida albicans, etc. are quite common.

Identifying Characteristics in Clinical Practice

• Symptoms of illness, include a high temperature
• Headache
• Experiencing difficulty moving the neck
• Lethargy
• Alteration in mental state

Analyses for Diagnosis

• Diagnostic Brain Imaging
• CSF and ECG analysis
• The MRI and CT scan
• Lab examination for blood

Treatment through Medicine

• Administer antiviral agents- Eg Acyclovir(zovirox)
• In order to prevent a relapse, treatment should be maintained for up to three weeks.
• Treat seizures using anticonvulsants.
• Fluconazole

Nursing management

• Keep an eye on how the condition is developing,
• Reduce stress by taking care of basic comforts like lighting, noise, and temperature.
• Dole out pain relievers. Opioid analgesics may obscure the signs and symptoms of neurological disorders.
• Help the patient's loved ones overcome their fears by talking through them in therapy.

• Look at how much anguish there is.
• Help the patient choose an ergonomic sleeping position.
• Rest thoroughly
• Antipyretics should be given.
• Keep a close eye on the vitals.
• Keep an eye on the patient by using the glass cow coma scale to evaluate neurological status.
• Take a look at how alert the person is.
• Antipyretics should be given.
• Lend emotional support.
