    Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain tissue that can be caused by viral, bacterial, fungal or parasitic infections transmitted via the bloodstream, lymphatic system or meninges. Common symptoms include fever, nausea, vomiting, neck stiffness, confusion, behavioral changes and neurological deficits. Diagnosis involves lumbar puncture of cerebrospinal fluid to test for infectious agents, electroencephalogram to check for seizure activity, and CT scan to assess swelling and blockages in the brain. Treatment focuses on antiviral or antifungal medication for the specific infection, maintaining airway patency, positioning the head elevated, monitoring for signs of increased intracranial pressure, and providing a therapeutic environment. Complications can include
