Clinical resources
JE clinical care guidelines (2006)
PATH
These guidelines are intended for use in the clinical management of acutely ill children with symptoms suggesting meningitis or encephalitis. Local adaptation of these guidelines is encouraged.
JE posters and fact sheets for clinics (2005)
PATH
PATH created these materials to provide updated and accurate information about JE in clinical settings. The posters aim to educate parents on JE prevention by immunization, as well as on the immediate need for health care if a child develops symptoms of JE. The fact sheets were developed to help clinical health workers answer parents’ questions. The posters and fact sheets were designed to be easy to adapt and translate for use in a variety of environments. For example, local language and terminology may be added to the materials, and the documents’ pictures may be replaced with locally-appropriate images, including different logos for local use.
