A child in Larissa is showing steady improvement after being hospitalized with encephalitis caused by the flu.

Steady Signs of Recovery

A gradual but consistent improvement is being reported for a 3 year old child treated at the University Hospital of Larissa since 12 28 after developing encephalitis as a complication of the flu.

Family members say the child has regained alertness, is now eating, and has shown remarkable progress over recent days.

Doctors observing the case express optimism while noting that the young patient still requires additional time to fully regain strength before discharge becomes possible.

Daily Positive Developments

Medical staff and parents highlight the encouraging daily progress that continues to provide reassurance during the child’s recovery.

The illness first appeared during Christmas when the child experienced high fever and vomiting, prompting the parents to visit Volos Hospital for immediate care.

An admission to the pediatric clinic of Achillopouleio took place on 12 27, where doctors diagnosed the flu and encephalitis and arranged for a transfer to the University Hospital of Larissa for specialized treatment.

The move occurred the following morning, allowing medical teams to respond quickly due to the serious nature of encephalitis.
