There were 714 cases of dengue haemorrhagic fever and 1 death. The age of patients from 2-10 years old, none of them over 15 years old. The morbidity of III, IV degrees concentrated in Hon Dat, Tan Hiep, An Ninh, Rach Gia and also the districts that had the greatest morbidity, 56 cases of shock. The Steering Board issued a number of guideline documents and established preventive plan right at the beginning of the year with medical speciality. There were 28 cases of Japanese encephalitis, 25 cases with the age from 13 months - 5 years old, 3 cases with the age from 6-11 years old, 64% male and 36% female. The Pasteurs Institute of Ho Chi Minh City coordinated with the local authority to control the disease transmission in order to isolate virus and propagate measures of mosquito killing and hygienic methods around living area.

From 2001 September to 2002 August, 566 serum samples of 5-6 months pig at Hoai Duc district, Ha Tay province were supervised. Results showed very high frequency of JE infection among pig population during epidemic season with the percentage of positivity was 82% in June. By contrast during another months of non-epidemic season, the frequency of JE infection among pig population was very low, with the percentage of positivity was between 1.96% and 14%

The potency of 33 lots of Japanese encephalitis vaccine produced during the year period 2000-2001 at the Company for Vaccine and Biologicals No1 was evaluated by Shewhart chart. Data showed that no any potency of these lots falls outside the range of one standard deviation 1SD. Results showed the good stability of production procedure, the efficacy of produced vaccine of the manipulation and of the practical conditions

Haemagglutination Inhibition Technique was applied to study conversion anti-Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus antibodies in pigs in Hoai Duc, Ha Tay, in 2002. The results showed that antibody conversion in pigs occurs year-round. Vero and C6/36 cells were used to isolate JE virus. From 83 mosquito pools and 30 pig blood samples, 7 JE viruses strains were isolated from mosquito pools, and 4 JE viruses strains were isolated from pig blood samples. These JE viruses strains were isolated either in the epidemic or in the non epidemic season. Sequencing of E gene region of JE virus strains that were isolated from mosquitoes and pigs, circulating of genotype I of JE virus in North Vietnam in 2002

Introduction: The etiology of encephalitis involves an enormous range and can be classified as infectious or immune-mediated. There are several factors influencing its prognosis and has been associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This study aims to evaluate the clinico-epidemiologic characteristics and outcomes of infectious and immune-mediated encephalitis among pediatric patients. Methodology: Retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study that included patients aged 6 months to 17 years old with encephalitis in a tertiary hospital between January 2010 to December 2020 Results: A total of 23 cases were reviewed and 60.87% were infectious while that of immune-mediated was 39.13%. Among those with identified infectious cause, Mycoplasma pneumonia was the most common (28.57%). Infectious encephalitis was more common among younger males (35.71%) while immune-mediated affected female adolescents more (55.56%). The most common neurologic manifestation was altered mental status and/or behavioral changes. Treatment such as antibiotics (78.26%), anticonvulsant therapy (78.26%), and steroids (43.48%) were given. All immune-mediated cases received steroids. More than half of patients had complete recovery (56.52%). Conclusion Pediatric encephalitis should be considered among patients with neurologic dysfunction with or without systemic involvement. Behavioral changes in an apparently well child should prompt clinicians to consider anti-NMDAR encephalitis, especially if viral studies are negative and with no other known cause. Viruses remain to be the most common etiology, but other possible causes should be highly considered such as anti-NMDAR and Mycoplasma. A normal CSF analysis, imaging and/or encephalography (EEG) may not totally exclude encephalitis. Prognosis is relatively good hence an early diagnosis and initiation of appropriate management is important.
