Redlich encephalitis

Reddich-Scott encephalitis **(Redlich disease or Flatau disease)** is an acute infectious tick-borne borreli-like encephalitis, characterized by alternating attacks (attacks) of fever and apyrexia, generalized lymphomonocytic infiltration and destruction of brain matter with the formation of abscesses, pericallosal necrosis and demyelinating processes. The acute manifestations of the disease include chills, followed by a febrile period, followed by periods of serous meningeal phenomena, then an increase in body temperature to 39-41 ° C (with daily fluctuations of 2-4 ° C), impaired consciousness and convulsive seizures. In some cases, encephalitis can be complicated by intracranial hemorrhage, ependymatitis, and endophthalmitis.

There are fresh and chronic (progressive) encephalitis. Chronicity of the disease is caused by residual effects of inflammation after the disappearance of symptoms of the acute stage of the disease, against the background of which a secondary demyelinating process is formed. EVD Reddikh may be secondary to vaccination against tick-borne encephalitis. Under these circumstances, in addition to damage to the nervous system, arthritis, damage to peripheral nerves and other changes may also be observed. **What is encephalitis?** The term “encephalitis” refers to inflammation of the brain.
