PURPOSE OF REVIEW Encephalitis and postinfectious encephalitis represent two important conditions for the neurologist, both in terms of their presentations as neurologic emergencies and their potential to cause death or serious neurologic impairment. This article reviews the major infectious and noninfectious causes of encephalitis and discusses postinfectious encephalitis as an indirect effect...

Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain. The diagnosis of encephalitis can be established only by microscopic examination of brain tissue, and similarly the etiology is established only by the recovery from or the demonstration in brain tissue of an infectious agent. In clinical practice, however, the diagnosis of encephalitis frequently is based on neurologic manifestations, and the etiol...

Background. It is difficult to confirm the diagnosis of mixed infection erythema migrans form Lyme borreliosis and tick-borne encephalitis at onset disease because delayed seroconversion.
 Purpose. Assessment hemogram predictors develop a model for early encephalitis.
 Materials methods. The study involved 21 patients with (Group 1) 25 monoinfection 2), who were hospitalized no later ...

IMPORTANCE The clinical features of autoimmune encephalitis associated with antibodies against the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR-Abs) remain poorly defined. OBJECTIVES To describe 7 patients with encephalitis and AMPAR-Abs and to provide a review of the literature on this disease entity. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS The setting was the Centre Nati...

37 Encephalitis is defined by the presence of an inflammatory process of the brain in association with clinical evidence of neurologic dysfunction. Among the pathogens that are reported to cause encephalitis, the majority are viruses. There are many benefits for the management of encephalitis if the cause is identified. However, despite extensive testing, the etiology of encephalitis remains un...

conclusions post-vaccination encephalomyelitis is a very rare side effect of mencevax acwy. introduction post-vaccination encephalomyelitis is an inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system. it is triggered by certain vaccines. the diagnosis of post-vaccination encephalomyelitis depends on the close temporal relationship between vaccination and clinical presentation. case presentation w...

A large number of viruses can result in encephalitis. However, certain viruses are more prevalent in certain geographical regions. For example, Japanese encephalitis (JE) and dengue in South East Asia and West Nile in Middle East whereas Herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) occurs all over the world without any seasonal or regional variation. Encephalitis can result in acute symptomatic seizures a...

Background: Dengue viral infection is common worldwide caused by dengue virus. Recent studies have shown dengue viral infection causing encephalitis with high morbidity and mortality. The Dengue encephalitis patients usually present with altered sensorium, elevated lab parameters and high antibody titres at the time of admission. Aims: To compare initial lab parameters, clinical spectrum and ou...

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) often presents as a brain mass with encephalitis. In a patient with GBM, subsequent presentation with new onset encephalitis may be due to another GBM or Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) encephalitis. We present a case of HSV-1 encephalitis mimicking GBM in a patient with previous GBM.
