encephalitis

Mrs. Smith I am Dr. Hercules I have been following Mr. Drakes case since he arrived. He came in whit very high fever and presented a state of confusion. At first it seemed like he had symptoms of the flu since we have been receiving many cases of it and deiced to run some test.

The medication was administer to get rid of the encephalitis but of course like any medication Sid effects are always present. Mr. Drake developed seizures dew to the acyclovir and treated them with intravenous Dilantin and Lorazepam to help with the seizures.

A nasogastric tube was placed which is a tube that goes down his nose through the throat and down in to the stomach. The best technic in this situation is to put the patient in a state of coma which is very safe we can take him out of the
