Abstract

Encephalitis is the inflammation of the brain parenchyma. The most common signs and symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting, altered mental status, seizures, and focal neurologic deficits. Altered mental status is the main feature differentiating encephalitis from uncomplicated meningitis, which usually presents fever, headache, and nuchal rigidity. Since encephalitis is often accompanied by meningitis, the term meningoencephalitis is generally used interchangeably with encephalitis [1, 2].
