👉 Encephalitis is a medical condition that occurs when the brain and spinal cord become infected. It can be caused by various factors, including bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Symptoms of encephalitis include fever, headache, neck stiffness, numbness in the limbs, confusion, loss of consciousness, seizures, and loss of balance or coordination. Treatment for encephalitis typically involves antibiotics to fight off bacterial infections, and sometimes corticosteroids to reduce inflammation.
