The only difference between viral and bacterial encephalitis is what causes it. They are exactly the same condition except one is started via a virus and one is started by a bacteria.
That depends on whether it is bacterial encephalitis or viral encephalitis. Bacterial encephalitis is treated with antibiotics, while viral encephalitis is not.
No, Eastern Equine Encephalitis is a viral disease.
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.
No. Encephalitis is an acute inflammation of the brain that is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. It can be aftereffect of another disease such as herpes or a complication of syphilis but it is not genetic.
There is really no difference between the symptoms of viral and bacterial meningitis. With both you will have fever, headache, stiff neck, vomiting, and sensitivity to light. However that being said bacterial comes on suddenly where viral can take a few days.
Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain, usually caused by a direct viral infection or a hyper-sensitivity reaction to a virus or foreign protein. Brain inflammation caused by a bacterial infection is sometimes called cerebritis.
People can get encephalitis through viral infections, such as herpes simplex virus, West Nile virus, or Japanese encephalitis virus. Other causes include bacterial infections, parasites, or autoimmune reactions. It can also be a complication of certain diseases or conditions.
Viral meningitis is caused by a virus, while bacterial meningitis is caused by bacteria. Bacterial meningitis is usually more severe and can be life-threatening, requiring immediate medical attention. Viral meningitis is typically less severe and often resolves on its own with rest and supportive care.

Even though the symptoms are mostly the same, bacterial diarrhea is caused by bacteria, and viral diarrhea is caused by viruses. This means that the treatment for each is different, since the same medicines do not affect both bacterias and viruses.
Yes, viral meningitis can sometimes progress to viral encephalitis. This occurs when the viral infection spreads from the meninges (protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord) to the brain itself, causing inflammation and potentially more severe symptoms. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if symptoms suggest progression to encephalitis.
