phosphorylcholine and Encephalitis

phosphorylcholine has been researched along with Encephalitis in 9 studies

Phosphorylcholine: Calcium and magnesium salts used therapeutically in hepatobiliary dysfunction.
phosphocholine : The phosphate of choline; and the parent compound of the phosphocholine family.

Encephalitis: Inflammation of the BRAIN due to infection, autoimmune processes, toxins, and other conditions. Viral infections (see ENCEPHALITIS, VIRAL) are a relatively frequent cause of this condition.
