What is ensephelitis?

Encephalitis is a rare but serious inflammation of the brain. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including infections, autoimmune disorders, and toxins.

Symptoms of encephalitis can vary depending on the cause and severity of the inflammation. Some common symptoms include:

* Fever

* Headache

* Nausea and vomiting

* Confusion

* Seizures

* Paralysis

* Difficulty speaking or swallowing

* Vision problems

* Hearing loss

Encephalitis can be a life-threatening condition, and it is important to seek medical attention immediately if you experience any of these symptoms. Treatment for encephalitis typically involves antiviral medications, corticosteroids, and supportive care.

The prognosis for encephalitis depends on the cause and severity of the inflammation. Some people recover fully, while others may experience permanent brain damage or death.

There are a number of things you can do to help reduce your risk of encephalitis, including:

* Getting vaccinated against common viruses that can cause encephalitis, such as measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox

* Avoiding contact with people who are sick with viral infections

* Washing your hands frequently

* Avoiding insect bites, especially in areas where encephalitis is common

* Avoiding contact with animals that may carry rabies
