Measles
A highly contagious viral infection caused by the measles virus. Symptoms appear 8-12 days after exposure and include a rash, cough, fever and muscle pains that can last 4-7 days. Measles vaccines are available to provide prophylaxis, usually combined with mumps and rubella vaccines (MMR). [from NCI]
Viral encephalitis
An inflammation of brain parenchyma due to infection with a virus. Viral encephalitis can occur as a rare complication of common infections (eg, herpes virus infections) or can occur as a characteristic presentation of rare viruses (eg, rabies virus infection). Encephalitis may be the only neurologic manifestation of infection, or may occur in association with meningitis, myelitis, radiculitis, or neuritis. Viral encephalitis is associated with neurological dysfunction. [from HPO]
Infectious encephalitis
A disorder of the brain caused by an infectious agent that presents with fever, headache, and an altered level of consciousness. There may also be focal or multifocal neurologic deficits, and focal or generalized seizure activity. [from HPO]
Viral infection of central nervous system
Viral infections of the brain, spinal cord, meninges, or perimeningeal spaces. [from MeSH]
Mononegavirales infectious disease
Infections with viruses of the order mononegavirales. The concept includes filoviridae infections; paramyxoviridae infections; and rhabdoviridae infections. [from MONDO]
Morbillivirus infectious disease
Infections with viruses of the genus morbillivirus, family paramyxoviridae. Infections mainly cause acute disease in their hosts, although in some cases infection is persistent and leads to degenerative conditions. [from MONDO]
West Nile fever
A mosquito-borne viral illness caused by the west nile virus, a flavivirus and endemic to regions of Africa, Asia, and Europe. Common clinical features include headache; fever; maculopapular rash; gastrointestinal symptoms; and lymphadenopathy. meningitis; encephalitis; and myelitis may also occur. The disease may occasionally be fatal or leave survivors with residual neurologic deficits. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1996, Ch26, p13; Lancet 1998 Sep 5;352(9130):767-71) [from MONDO]
Encephalitis
An inflammatory process affecting the brain parenchyma. Causes include viral infections and less frequently bacterial infections, toxins, and immune-mediated processes. [from NCI]
Arbovirus infection
A viral infection that is transmitted by an arthropod. [from NCI]
