title: [Death caused by viral meningoencephalitis in a caseload of 1052 cases].
abstract: 1,052 medical records of patients discharged from "Pedro Borrás Astorga" Pediatric Teaching Hospital, with a diagnosis of non-urlean viral meningoencephalitis in the period ranging from October 1, 1985 to March 31, 1986, were reviewed. In this study the medical records of three deaths were particularly analyzed by means of the data of highest interest such as: age, sex, color of skin, length of stay, diagnostic impression at admission, motive of admission, course of the disease, physical examination and complementary procedures, and particularly anatomopathologic results. Conclusions are provided.
