ENCEPHALITIS IN NORTH CHINA. RESULTS OBTAINED WITH NEUTRALIZATION TESTS

Encephalitis in North China. Results Obtained with Neutralization Tests.

Evaluation of chimeric Japanese encephalitis and dengue viruses for use in diagnostic plaque reduction neutralization tests.

The plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) is a specific serological test used to identify and confirm arbovirus infection in diagnostic laboratories and monitor immunological protection in vaccine recipients. Wild-type (wt) viruses used in the PRNT may be difficult to grow and plaque titrate, such as the dengue viruses (DENV), and/or may require biosafety level 3 (BSL3) containment, such ...

O18: Autoimmune Encephalitis (Pathophysiology, Clinical Signs and Diagnos Tic Tests)

Autoimmune encephalitis is a difficult clinical diagnosis due to the similarities in the clini­cal, imaging and laboratory findings of many forms of autoimmune and infectious encephalitis. Autoimmune encephalitis involves several types: The first group includes the classic paraneo­plastic disorders associated with antibodies to intracellular antigens. The second group involves autoanti...
