Differential diagnosis and therapy of paresis in infectious diseases


 * During many infections, paralysis can occur in various muscle groups.
 * Paresis in infectious diseases occurs:
 * During the acute phase of the disease - Cerebral Palsy (DMO), coxsackie and ECHO viruses.
 * They develop a fever - tick-borne encephalitis, parainfectious encaphalitis.
 * The first symptom in afebrilia - botulism, polyradiculoneuritis.
 * In early or late convalescence- diphtheria.


 * Sometimes it is directly related to motor impairment (DMO, botulism).
 * Other times about changes in sensitivity (polyradiculoneuritis).


 *  The forecast depends on the type of structures affected and the type of change:
 * 1) bulbar and ascendant forms have a poor prognosis,
 * 2) permanent damage is during the destruction of neurons.
