What is Encephalitis / Encephalopathy?

Encephalitis and encephalopathy are brain conditions that can result in permanent damage. Encephalitis refers to brain inflammation, while encephalopathy is a broad term for any brain disease or disorder. Several causes can lead to these conditions, including infections, trauma, metabolic problems, drugs, and lack of oxygen to the brain.

Typical Symptoms of Encephalitis / Encephalopathy

Diagnostic Questions for Encephalitis / Encephalopathy

Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:

  • Have you experienced any seizures?
  • Have you ever been diagnosed with HIV or AIDS?
  • Is it hard to raise one corner of your mouth when you smile?
  • Have you been experiencing difficulty speaking, performing tasks, or recognizing things?
  • Do you have weakness or paralysis on one side of your body?

Treatment of Encephalitis / Encephalopathy

Treatment depends on the cause of the brain condition. Medications to reduce inflammation, eliminate infection, and slow brain damage progression may be used, and in some cases, surgery may be required. Anti-seizure medication is prescribed for seizures. Supportive treatment with fluids injected into the vein is needed to keep the patient stable.
