Lupus erythematosus, is lupus in connective tissue, I would have to say its more like meningitis than encephalitis how ever the presentation could be similar. Lupus is more or less the over activation of your immune system like an allergy however it is your own body that is allergic to it's self. Encephalitis is caused by the immune system's reaction to what it thinks is foreign material. I hope that helps
