The death toll due to Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES) has reached 100 in Muzaffarpur and the adjoining districts in Bihar. Most of the casualties are between the age group of 1-10.
Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan has advocated setting up of a research institute to identify the reason behind the outbreak of the epidemic, colloquially known as 'chamki bukhar' (chamki = seizure). As per the reports, AES has taken around 12 districts of the state in its grip which includes Muzaffarpur, Vaishali and East Champaran. However, Muzaffarpur has been declared as the worst hit zone.
All about Acute Encephalitis Syndrome
Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) is a serious public health problem in India. It is characterized as acute-onset of fever and a change in mental status (mental confusion, disorientation, delirium, or coma) and/or new onset of seizures in a person of any age at any time of the year.
The disease most commonly affects children and young adults and can lead to considerable morbidity and mortality.
The AES cases in Muzaffarpur, Bihar and adjoining litchi producing districts have been observed mostly during April to June particularly in children who are undernourished with a history of visiting litchi orchards.
Causative agents of Acute Encephalitis Syndrome
1. Viruses are the main causative agents in AES cases, although other sources such as bacteria, fungus, parasites, spirochetes, chemicals, toxins, and noninfectious agents have also been reported over the past few decades.
2. Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is the major cause of AES in India (ranging from 5-35 percent). Nipah virus, Zika virus are also found as causative agents for AES.
3. Herpes simplex virus, Influenza A virus, West Nile virus, Chandipura virus, mumps, measles, dengue, Parvovirus B4, enteroviruses, Epstein-Barr virus and scrub typhus, S pneumoniae are the other causes of AES in sporadic and outbreak form in India.

About Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV)
As mentioned above, JEV is the major cause of AES in India. It is a mosquito-borne flavivirus and belongs to the same genus as dengue, yellow fever, and West Nile viruses.
There is no cure for the disease. Treatment is focused on relieving severe clinical signs and supporting the patient to overcome the infection.
Treatment for Encephalitis
1. Children suffering from Encephalitis should be kept in the Intensive Care unit or ICU to avoid any major mishap.
2. It can be treated by anti-inflammatory drugs, such as Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen and Naproxen Sodium to reduce headaches and temperature.
3. Most cases of encephalitis get resolved in a few days. In case of a severe condition, it may take a few weeks.
