Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain caused by infection (usually viral) or by autoimmune disease. Encephalitis is indiscriminate, striking adults and children alike, showing no respect for age, gender, ethnicity or culture. Mortality rates are high and many of those who survive are left with an acquired brain injury, the degree and severity of which will vary. Encephalitis International is a registered non-profit organisation and the only resource of its kind in the world. We provide direct support and information to people affected by encephalitis around the world. No matter where you live in the world, we are here to help.
