1、VIRAL MENINGITIS&ENCEPHALITIS Viral meningitis refers to meningitis caused by a viral infection.Children and young adults are frequently affected.Viral meningitis is most often caused by enteric 肠道的肠道的viruses Viral encephalitis by childhood exanthems皮疹皮疹,arthropod-borne节肢节肢动物动物agents虫媒性病原体虫媒性病原体,and
