Lymphocytic encephalitis is a neurological condition characterized by inflammation of the brain, primarily caused by an immune response featuring lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. It can result from various infections, autoimmune disorders, or other triggers, leading to symptoms such as headaches, seizures, confusion, and neurological deficits.
