Epidemic encephalitis according to the epidemic in Kazan in 1921-1925

Abstract

Several years have passed since the first demonstration of patients with epidemic encephalitis in Kazan, made by Dr. S. D. Voznesensky 1), and my report on the epidemic of encephalitis, made at the First Volga Congress of Doctors in the summer of 1923 2). During this time, the fears expressed in the report about the further development of the epidemic were justified - if by that time there were only 14 cases of the disease, then in subsequent years this number increased sharply: in the second half of 1923, 6 patients with epidemic encephalitis were registered in Kazan, 1924 - 31 patients and in the first 10 months of 1925 - 29 patients, so that the total number of cases now (November 1925) reaches 80 people.
