title: [The clinico-laboratory characteristics of cases of diseases connected with viruses of the California encephalitis complex in the inhabitants of Moscow].
abstract: To study the role of viruses of the California encephalitis virus complex (the family Bunyaviridae) in infectious pathology, 187 fever patients admitted to the Clinical Infectious Hospital in May-September 1986 were examined. In 10 of these patients the neutralization test revealed the presence of diagnostically significant changes in neutralizing antibodies (neutralization indices), which was indicative of the role played by Tahyna virus or other related viruses belonging to the California encephalitis virus complex in the etiology of the diseases. The analysis of the clinical picture showed that in all patients the disease took an acute course in its initial stage, starting with shivering and characterized by high fever, headache, pronounced toxicosis, the possibility of the formation of intracerebral hypertension and pneumonia.
