Abstract
Detection of virus, viral antigen, and class-specific antibody was carried out in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and sera of 27 children with Japanese encephalitis. The diagnosis could be confirmed in 78.57% of cases (22/27) by demonstration of virus-specific IgM in CSF (15/22), viral antigen in CSF (5/22), or by virus isolation (2/22). Absence of virus specific IgM in CSF was associated with a fatal outcome (P= 0.05).
