ABSTRACT
A clinico epidemiological prospective study was carried out on acute viral infection of brain among children admitted in a rural based medical college from September '99 to Oct '01. Out of 80 cases, 8 cases (10%) of aseptic meningitis, 35 cases (43.75%) of encephalitis and 37 cases (6.25%) of meningo-encephalitis were found. Overall case fatality was 47.5% and found higher (77%) among normally nourished children in comparison to malnourished children (47.5%). Virological investigation did not isolate any known Flavivirus, Herpes Simplex virus (HSV) and Measles virus; nor any serological evidence against these viruses.
