Encephalitis is a potentially fatal condition that involves inflammation of certain parts of the brain, usually triggered by an infection or some form of autoimmune response. The condition is rare, affecting 10-15 people in 100,000 per year in the US, with over a third of cases not having an identifiable cause.
Verified cases of encephalitis require immediate medical care, with a number of different treatment options available. There are a number of vaccines that may help indirectly. In addition to this, ensuring you have a robust immune system is important, and that’s where we come in.
