| 英文描述 | Western Equine Encephalomyelitis is caused by a TOGAVIRUS that is maintained in reservoir hosts especially birds, and can occur in outbreaks in endemic areas. As this is a viral disease, CSF cells and protein are elevated. Diagnosis is based on clinical signs associated with a 4-fold rise in titer or viral isolation at necropsy, but a high single titer during the acute phase of illness can be used as presumptive evidence of the diagnosis. There is a vaccine. Severe signs last a few days and recovery can occur within weeks, but there is a fatality rate of 10-50% in cases with neurologic signs. |
