Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The symptoms indicate encephalitis, and given the residence of the child and the symptoms, the diagnosis is Eastern equine encephalitis. Venezuelan occurs in Texas, Florida, and the South. St. Louis occurs in Canada and the Pacific coast. West Nile occurs throughout the United States but primarily affects the elderly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Most causes of encephalitis are viral, not bacterial, fungal, or toxoid.
