Hello,

Thank you for choosing DoctorSpring.

Your Father medical condition is of Neurological origin, not related to HCV. I would like to know the MRI results, and CSF study results. You can reply as a followup.

Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for providing the investigation reports.

I have discussed the consult with our team Neurologist. Allow me to list down our opinion. Please note, these opinions are based on limited information and with a direct clinical examination.
1. A Central nervous system infection like a viral encephalitis or CNS TB should be considered. Considering the early symptoms of memory disturbance TB should be considered. Specific CSF test may be repeated (CSF ADA, Viral antibodies)
2. Monitor S. Sodium and Potassium levels. A serum Calcium, Magnesium levels needs to be done
3. Sepsis (infection from lungs) related encephalopathy should be ruled out. ABG (Arterial Blood Gas Analysis) may be done for this.
4. This even seems to be unrelated to the Diabetes and HCV infection.
5. Injection Thiamine (if not given already) should be considered.
6. Empirical anti-viral and anti TB treatment can be considered
7. Repeat MRI (if possible)

The organ system involved seems to be Nervous System. Approach should be to identify the cause of it. However empirical treatment can be given now itself. Hope this helps
Thank you
