| Core Tip |
This meta-analysis of 69 studies shows that scrub typhus and Japanese encephalitis are the leading identifiable etiologies of pediatric acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) in India. Enterovirus, dengue virus, herpes simplex virus, and Epstein-Barr virus are other etiological agents detected in the AES cases. These findings underline the need to consider a wider range of infectious etiologies in children presenting with AES. Broader diagnostic methods, including molecular techniques, may improve diagnostic yield and facilitate early targeted therapy in children with AES. |
