Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted on admitted patients from Outpatient Department and Emergency in Children’s Hospital PIMS, Islamabad, from May 2009 to Mar 2010. Methodology: Fifty six patients with acute encephalitis were included in the study, meeting the criteria as per International classification of diseases 9 and 10. All children (both genders) between the ages of 4 months to 12 years with acute encephalitis were included. Cerebrospinal fluid routine examination was done in all patients and the findings of pleocytosis (WBC count >5u/l), protein and sugar were noted in proforma. Results: Out of 56 patients 38 (68%) were males and 18 (32%) were females. The ages ranged from 4 months to 12 years, with the mean age of 4.6 ± 3.2 years. Amongst the 56 enrolled patients all presented with fever. Cerebrospinal fluid examination showed Pleocytosis in 30 (54%) and normal cell count in 26 (46%). Cerebrospinal fluid protein content was normal in 45 (80%) and increased in 11 (20%). Conclusion: Fever was present in all cases of acute encephalitis in children admitted to Children’s Hospital PIMS, Islamabad with high frequency of cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis.Nasreen AliArmy Medical College Rawalpindiarticleacute encephalitiscerebrospinal fluid pleocytosisfeverfrequencyMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENPakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal, Vol 71, Iss 1, Pp 211-14 (2021)
