Encephalitis generally occurs when pathogens invade the central nervous system of the brain, resulting in corresponding clinical manifestations. Patients may exhibit symptoms such as headache, fever, nausea, vomiting, and even paralysis of limbs and cognitive impairments. Patients become confused, with reduced computational and comprehension abilities. Some may also exhibit psychiatric symptoms and even experience seizures and other manifestations of epilepsy. Encephalitis is caused by pathogens, commonly viruses. Viral infections that lead to what is known as viral encephalitis can spread through the bloodstream to the brain and cause illness. Additionally, bacterial infections can also cause encephalitis. There are mainly two routes for bacterial infections: one is through bloodstream transmission leading to inflammation of the nervous system, and the other can occur directly, for example, from inflammation of the mastoids, tonsils, or cavernous sinus, where bacteria directly invade the brain, leading to the respective clinical manifestations. Furthermore, tuberculosis can also infect and cause tuberculous encephalitis, meningitis, and similar conditions.
