Antheraea pernyi encephalopathy
Tussah pupa encephalopathy is a central nervous system disease that occurs sporadically in tussah silkworm breeding areas and is induced by eating tussah silkworm pupae. This syndrome is a syndrome of extensive involvement of the central nervous system, mainly the extrapyramidal system and cerebellum, discovered in my country in the 1980s. Since Wang Xisheng et al. reported 15 cases in 1984, there have been continuous case reports.
