Acute encephalitis from 1967 to 1991.
Journal of the Neurological Sciences 2001 March 2
We studied all the adult patients with acute encephalitis, 322 in all, in the Helsinki area, Finland, during the years 1967--1991. The average incidence was 1.4/100000 adults/year. The proportion of known and suggested etiologies in 5-year periods has risen from 36 (1967--71) to 59% (1987--91). Herpes simplex virus was identified most often (16%), followed by varicella-zoster (5%), mumps (4%), and influenza A viruses (4%). In addition, 20 other agents were identified. The leading cause of encephalitis in patients aged 65 years or more was varicella-zoster virus. Eighteen patients (5.6%) died. It appears that the etiology of encephalitis changes with age and with time. It is important to establish the etiological pattern, as this assists in prompt diagnosis, which is a prerequisite for successful therapy.
