Japanese encephalitis
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a viral infection transmitted by mosquitoes that primarily affects the brain. While most cases of JE are mild or asymptomatic, severe cases can lead to inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), resulting in neurological symptoms and potentially life-threatening complications. Understanding the causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment options for Japanese encephalitis is crucial for individuals living in or traveling to regions where the disease is endemic.
