We report the case of an eight-year-old boy who presented with an acute encephalitis and was confirmed to have Japanese encephalitis (JE). In addition, we found the vesicular stage of neurocysticercosis (NCC). The co-occurrence of JE and NCC was thought to be synergistic as there is some evidence that in presence of NCC, the neuroinvasiveness and virulence of JE is greater and associated with poor outcome.
我们报告了一例8岁男孩，其表现为急性脑炎，确诊为日本脑炎（JE）。此外，我们发现了神经囊尾蚴病（NCC）的囊泡期。JE和NCC的同时出现被认为具有协同作用，因为有证据表明，在存在NCC的情况下，JE的神经侵袭性和毒力更强，且与不良预后相关。
