1999年 2月至 2 0 0 0年 5月 ,本刊先后收到以“散发性”或“病毒性”脑炎为题的稿件 16篇 ,由于版面有限均未能直接刊出。鉴于这个问题普遍存在 ,涉及面较广 ,现将其综合并略加评论刊出 ,以告一段落。因作者太多 ,每篇稿件仅署第一作者名 ,其余作者只好在作者单位下一一注明 ;作者分属不同科室以至不同医院 ,不便再详注。作者单位按收稿先后排列 ,即作者署名不分先后 ,稿件编为稿①～ 。 From February 1999 to May 2000, we have received 16 articles entitled “Sporadic” or “Viral” encephalitis. Due to limited layout, they were not published directly. In view of the ubiquity of this issue and the broader scope of its coverage, the comprehensive and slight comments are now published to come to an end. Due to the author too much, each manuscript only write the first author name, the rest of the author had to specify the author unit next one; the author belongs to different departments as well as different hospitals, inconvenience further details. The author’s unit has been arranged according to the accepted manuscript, that is, the author’s signature has no precedence, the manuscript compiled as draft ① ~.
