Today is World
@Encephalitis Day, but what actually is it?
Encephalitis International’s Ambassador
@Clarke13George invited us to meet members of the charity and learn about this devastating brain condition which affects 500,000 people around the world each year.
Encephalitis is essentially inflammation of the brain. It can be caused by viral infections or other factors. Symptoms may include headache, fever, confusion, seizures, and difficulty moving. Treatment typically involves antiviral medications, corticosteroids, and supportive care to manage symptoms and reduce inflammation.
Early recognition and treatment can save lives and improve patient outcomes.
