Abstract:
Objective:To sum up the characteristics of cerebrospinal fluid and brain CT findings of viral encephalitis in children, and provide guidance for clinical diagnosis and treatment of viral encephalitis.Methods: 117 cases of viral encephalitis were selected in our hospital and the results were analyzed by statistical analysis of cerebrospinal fluid and CT in children with viral encephalitis in order to compare the results of cerebrospinal fluid examination and CT examination.Results:Cerebrospinal fluid examination showed that the increased intracranial pressure were 52.14%(61/117), protein>0.5 g/L are 36.75%(43/117), elevated white blood cell levels were 57.26%(67/117), the neutrophils increased 33.33% (39/117), lymphocytes increased 31.62%(37/117), and the sugar concentration <3.3 mol/L are 14.53% (17/117). Head CT in the diagnosis of abnormalities in children were 98 cases, in which 21 were mild abnormal, 57 were moderately abnormal and 20 cases were severe abnormalities. Abnormal cerebrospinal fluid diagnosis rate of 94.02% was significantly higher than the rate of CT abnormalities 83.76% and the difference was statistically significant (x2=6.231,P<0.05).Conclusion: The abnormal rates of CT examination in the diagnosis of viral encephalitis were higher in patients with viral encephalitis. The combination of the two examinations could be more comprehensive than that of the patients with the disease and focus. It could be benefit for clinical treatment.
