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.

Yes, viral meningitis can sometimes progress to viral encephalitis.

It is important to seek medical attention promptly if symptoms suggest progression to encephalitis.
