Does encephalitis require bone marrow acupuncture?

Encephalitis does not require a bone marrow puncture, but a lumbar puncture.

Encephalitis is an inflammatory disease of the brain parenchyma caused by infection with various pathogens. Patients with encephalitis need to do lumbar puncture. Lumbar puncture is one of the commonly used examination methods in neurology, which provides the basis for the diagnosis of neurological diseases, especially encephalitis.

Lumbar puncture in patients with encephalitis can identify pathogenic infections, such as bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, rickettsia, and fungi. Lumbar puncture can also reduce intracranial pressure and relieve symptoms.

Bone marrow aspiration is mainly used to diagnose anemia caused by various causes and various types of leukemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, multiple myeloma, metastases, myelodysplastic syndrome, myelofibrosis, malignant histiocytic disease, etc. Bone marrow puncture can detect parasites for some parasitic diseases; for patients with long-term fever and enlarged liver, spleen and lymph nodes, bone marrow puncture can be used to confirm the diagnosis. Therefore, patients with encephalitis do not need a bone marrow puncture, but a lumbar puncture.
