CLINICAL EXPERINCE ON THE USE OF COLD PACKS IN THE TREATMENT OF THE CASES WITH HIGH FEVER AND ENCEPHALITIC SYMPTOMS

Abstract

Clinical courses of the two patients with high fever and encephalitic symptoms (a 17-yearold male made diagnosis of serous meningitis and a 60-year-old female of Japanese B encephalitis) who responded favourably to the treatment with cold packs on the chest and back of the patients for keeping their temperature under 38°C. for two days, were described.
This method is very simple and will be available for treatment of encephalitis Japonica, for which no specific treatment has been established.
