Overview
Patients with Japanese encephalitis usually appear lethargic. Physical examination of patients with Japanese encephalitis is usually remarkable for meningism, fever, and convulsions.
Signs of Japanese encephalitis which develop during the acute encephalitic stage include neck rigidity, cachexia, hemiparesis, convulsions and a raised body temperature between 38 and 41 degrees Celsius. The classical description of Japanese encephalitis includes a Parkinsonian syndrome with masklike facies, tremor, cogwheel rigidity, and choreoathetoid movements. Acute flaccid paralysis, with clinical and pathological features similar to those of poliomyelitis, has also been associated with JE.
Physical examination
Patients with [disease name] usually appear [general appearance]. Physical examination of patients with [disease name] is usually remarkable for [finding 1], [finding 2], and [finding 3].
Appearance of the Patient
Patients with [disease name] usually appear [general appearance].
