| Research Abstract |
We have studied on the clinical features and pathogenesis of acute encephalitis/encephalopathy caused by viruses among children. As an causative agent, Influenza virus was a most common virus, followed by HHV-6 and rotavirus, and overall mortality was 7.7%. In terms of the pathogenesis of CNS damage caused by HHV-6 primary infection (E. subitum), virus growth has not been found in the brain tissue, showing encephalopathy not encephalitis. For treatment of this illness, TRX could be an important target in the near future.
