Hello
The patient is 3 years old having eiosinophilia .
The normal count of eiosinophils in body is 2-5 % while more than 8 % is suggestive of eiosinophilia and the drug of choice is "diethylcarbamazine" 1mg / kg body weight in divide doses. Increase up to 6 mg / kg body weight .
You can also add steroid , if not treated with above medicine .
As far as concerned about ACUTE DISSEMINATED ENCEPHALOMYELITIS , I recommend you consult a "NEUROLOGIST " and get his opinion because this is a disease covered by a SUPER SPECIALIST or Neurologist .
Hope this will help you.
