Brain inflammation: Encephalitis is an acute, life-threatening emergency, which requires prompt management. Treatment usually involves provision of empiric antibiotics and support of cardiorespiratory status and treatment of seizures. The clinical severity of encephalitis may be suggested by the symptoms of altered consciousness, lethargy, seizures, loss of balance, and focal neurologic findings.
