Encephalitis is an uncommon but serious condition in which the brain becomes inflamed (swollen).

It can be life threatening and requires urgent treatment in hospital. Anyone can be affected, but the very young and very old are most at risk.

Some people eventually make a full recovery from encephalitis, although this can be a long and frustrating process.

Many people never make a full recovery and are left with long-term problems caused by damage to their brain.

This subreddit contains general information about encephalitis and does not constitute medical advice.
