Encephalitis during the prodromal stage of acute hepatitis A.

Neurologic problems as prodromes of acute hepatitis A have been documented infrequently in the literature. The fol- lowing report describes the occurrence of encephalitis in the late prodromal stage of an infection caused by hepatitis A virus. negative results for salicylate, alco- hol and barbiturate in the serum and for phenothiazine, imipramine hydrochlo- ride and ethchlorvynol in the puncture axial tomography the cerebro- spinal fluid
