Japanese encephalitis (JE) is an acute viral encephalitis transmitted by mosquitoes, mainly Culex tritaeniorhyncus infected with JE virus. The ratio of asymptomatic to symptomatic infection is estimated to be 100:1–1000:1 (Vaughn and Hoke 1992). However, once symptoms develop, JE is a serious viral encephalitis with a high mortality rate and high percentage of neuropsychiatric sequelae (Hoke 1992; Monath and Heinz 1996; see chapter by Solomon and Vaughn, this volume). Japanese data during the past 20 years demonstrated that the mortality rate was 17%, 48% of the patients recovered with neuropsychiatric sequalae, and only 31% recovered completely (Matsunaga et al. 1999).
