The sequelae of viral encephalitis, or inflammation of the brain, is caused by a virus and can lead to a wide range of neurological symptoms, including headaches, confusion, seizures, and even coma. these symptoms can persist long after the virus has been cleared from the body, and can range from mild to severe, depending on the severity of the original infection.

What happens during the disease - sequelae of viral encephalitis

Viral encephalitis is an inflammatory condition of the brain that can cause long-term neurological complications. To prevent disease sequelae, it is important to practice preventive measures such as avoiding mosquito bites, receiving vaccinations, and maintaining good hygiene.

  • Neurological examination
  • Neuroimaging (CT/MRI)
  • Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) analysis
  • Electroencephalogram (EEG)
  • Blood tests
  • Viral culture
  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing
  • Psychological testing
