An Interesting Case of Acute Section Encephalitic Syndrome with Pancytopenia and Splenomegaly

Human Parvovirus infection is a rare condition causing encephalitis as well as pancytopenia. Similarly patient of Wilson disease presenting as hepatic encephalopathy as an initial manifestation is also a rare phenomenon. A previously healthy 20-year-old female patient presented as acute encephalitis...
