encephalitis
Encephalitis (from Ancient Greek ἐγκέφαλος, ''enképhalos'' “brain”, composed of ἐν, ''en'', “in” and κεφαλή, ''kephalé'', “head”, and the medical suffix ''-itis'' “inflammation”) is an acute inflammation of the brain. Encephalitis with meningitis is known as meningoencephalitis. Symptoms include headache, fever, confusion, drowsiness, and fatigue. Further symptoms include seizures or convulsions, tremors, hallucinations, stroke, and memory problems. In 2013 encephalitis was estimated to have resulted in 77,000 deaths, down from 92,000 in 1990.
==Signs and symptoms==
Adult patients with encephalitis present with acute onset of fever, headache, confusion, and sometimes seizures. Younger children or infants may present irritability, poor appetite and fever.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Encephalitis/Pages/Symptoms.aspx )〕
Neurological examinations usually reveal a drowsy or confused patient. Stiff neck, due to the irritation of the meninges covering the brain, indicates that the patient has either meningitis or meningoencephalitis.
