Scope note: Forma de encefalitis por arbovirus (que afecta principalmente a equinos), endémica en las regiones del este de América del Norte. El agente causal, el VIRUS DE LA ENCEFALOMIELITIS EQUINA ORIENTAL, puede ser transmitido a los seres humanos por la picadura de los mosquitos AEDES. Clínicamente se manifiesta por la aparición brusca de fiebre, CEFALEA, alteraciones mentales y CONVULSIONES y posteriormente coma. La enfermedad es mortal hasta en el 50 por ciento de los casos. La recuperación puede caracterizarse por déficits neurológicos residuales y EPILEPSIA. (Traducción libre del original: Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1996, Ch. 26, pp. 9-10)

Scope note: A form of arboviral encephalitis (primarily affecting equines) endemic to eastern regions of North America. The causative organism (ENCEPHALOMYELITIS VIRUS, EASTERN EQUINE) may be transmitted to humans via the bite of AEDES mosquitoes. Clinical manifestations include the acute onset of fever, HEADACHE, altered mentation, and SEIZURES followed by coma. The condition is fatal in up to 50% of cases. Recovery may be marked by residual neurologic deficits and EPILEPSY. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1996, Ch26, pp9-10)
