Preferred Label : encephalomyelitis, eastern equine;
MeSH definition : A form of arboviral encephalitis (primarily affecting equines) endemic to eastern
regions of North America. The causative organism (ENCEPHALOMYELITIS VIRUS, EASTERN
EQUINE) may be transmitted to humans via the bite of AEDES mosquitoes. Clinical manifestations
include the acute onset of fever, HEADACHE, altered mentation, and SEIZURES followed
by coma. The condition is fatal in up to 50% of cases. Recovery may be marked by residual
neurologic deficits and EPILEPSY. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1996, Ch26, pp9-10);
