1!Research Background and Significance
Respiratory diseases and encephalitis, both significant health concerns, are gaining attention for their comorbidity. Evidence suggests respiratory infections may trigger encephalitis, and encephalitis may impair respiratory function, leading to worse outcomes. Investigating their shared pathogenesis is crucial for early diagnosis, targeted interventions, and improved patient prognosis.
2!Research Objectives
Investigate the epidemiological features and risk factors of respiratory-encephalitis comorbidity.
Explore the immunological mechanisms underlying the comorbidity, focusing on immune system dysregulation.
Identify molecular biomarkers for early diagnosis and disease monitoring.
