Encephalitis is a rare, life-threatening disease which causes inflammation in the brain by either virus infection or immune system mistakenly destroys the healthy brain cell instead of the infected cell.
Rarely, it can also be caused by a bacterial or fungal infection.
It mostly occurs in children or older people or those who have a weekend immune system.
The symptoms of it vary with the severity of the disease.
Infants or children with encephalitis:
Bulging fontanel on the infant’s skull
But in the case of infants and older people, they have a higher risk of sustaining permanent brain damage.
Elders with a weak immune system and children can easily be affected, which can be caused by one of several viral infections, so it’s sometimes referred to as viral Encephalitis.
But this disease can be recovered by the right treatment, though the chance of recovery mainly depends on the virus involved and the severity of the inflammation.
The Reasons for this disease:
The viral Encephalitis occurs and grows during or after any of these severe viral illnesses like influenza, measles, chickenpox, mumps, herpes simplex, rubella, rabies, and arbovirus infection, including West Nile virus.
Arbovirus encephalitis is another form of viral Encephalitis, which can cause by various viruses that are carried by insects such as mosquitoes and ticks.
Granuloma annulare (GA) is skin disorder that most often causes a rash with red bumps (erythematous papules) arranged in a circle or ring pattern (annular).
The underlying cause of GA is unknown, but there are several factors that may trigger the disorder, including injury to the skin, viral infections, and certain medications and medical diseases.
[1][2][3][4][6] Some researchers propose unknown genetic factors may increase a person's risk to develop GA.[3][5] Diagnosis of GA is made by the appearance of skin lesions and lack of other physical findings or symptoms.
The color of the papules and plaques may be skin color, yellow, reddish pink, or violet.
Perforating GA presents with small bumps with crusted centers (umbilicated papules) that may leak fluid, itch, and be painful.
It has been reported to follow insect bites, sun exposure, tuberculin skin tests, tattoos, other injuries to the skin, certain medications (allopurinol, diclofenac, quinidine, calcitonin, amlodipine, ACE inhibitors, daclizumab, and calcium channel blockers), and viral infections (including Epstein-Barr, hepatitis C, herpes zoster, and HIV).
