Measles encephalitis is a severe complication of measles, marked by brain inflammation. This condition can arise during the acute phase of measles or as a delayed response. Common symptoms include fever, headaches, vomiting, neck stiffness, light sensitivity, seizures, and changes in consciousness. This acute neurological disorder highlights the critical need for early measles vaccination and prompt medical intervention when symptoms arise.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), measles encephalitis is perceived as an imbalance caused by the deep penetration of external pathogenic factors, primarily Wind, Heat, and Toxicity.
These factors disrupt the harmony of Qi and Blood, affecting the Brain and Mind. The TCM approach focuses on rebalancing the body's energies and removing pathogenic influences to address the condition.
