class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mechanism of Infection:<\/strong> The virus infects and replicates in the central nervous system, leading to encephalitis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Immune Response to Viral Infection:<\/strong> The host mounts an immune response, including the production of antibodies and activation of T-cells.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Acute vs. Chronic Infections:<\/strong> Causes acute infections with high mortality rates in severe cases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oncogenic Viruses (Cancer-causing):<\/strong> Not known to be oncogenic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Major Viral Diseases<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Encephalitis:<\/strong> Characterized by fever, altered mental status, seizures, and in severe cases, coma or death.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Diagnosis of Viral Infections<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Laboratory Tests:<\/strong> Detection through RT-PCR, virus isolation, and serological tests like ELISA.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Imaging Techniques:<\/strong> MRI or CT scans to detect brain inflammation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Symptom-Based Diagnosis:<\/strong> Initial diagnosis based on symptoms like fever, headache, vomiting, and neurological
