Primary encephalitis can happen to people at any time of the year (sporadic encephalitis), or can be part of an outbreak (epidemic encephalitis).
Secondary encephalitis may occur with measles, chickenpox, mumps, rubella, and EBV
Primary encephalitis is caused by direct infection by the virus, while secondary encephalitis is due to a post-infectious immune reaction to viral infection elsewhere in the body
Tuberculosis (TB) can lead to encephalitis, though it is more commonly associated with other central nervous system complications like meningitis or brain abscesses. When TB affects the brain, it often presents as tuberculous meningitis, which can cause inflammation and complications that may resemble encephalitis. Direct TB infection of brain tissue, known as tuberculoma, can also occur. Overall, while TB is not a primary cause of encephalitis, it can contribute to neurological complications in certain cases.

The illness, which can be fatal, is transmitted from one infected person to another by the tsetse fly. While it can occur globally, encephalitis lethargica is especially prevalent in Africa.
That depends on whether it is bacterial encephalitis or viral encephalitis. Bacterial encephalitis is treated with antibiotics, while viral encephalitis is not.
The illness, which can be fatal, is transmitted from one infected person to another by the tsetse fly. While it can occur globally, encephalitis lethargica is especially prevalent in Africa.
The medical condition frequently seen in patients with viral encephalitis is called "seizures." Seizures can occur due to the inflammation and irritation of the brain caused by the viral infection. In some cases, patients may also experience post-ictal states or other neurological complications as a result of the encephalitis.
Called encephalitis, this can occur up to several weeks after the basic measles symptoms have resolved.
It may also cause encephalitis
A dangerous condition that affects the brain is encephalitis.
