How is childhood encephalitis caused

Patient's question:

My mom hasn't been able to cook recently and often says she has a headache and feels dizzy. The key is that I don't really know what's going on, but she just seems quite unwell. How is childhood encephalitis caused?

Doctor's answer:

Many factors can cause it, with viruses being the most common, followed by bacteria, mycoplasma, and others. Type B encephalitis is primarily caused by viruses and is transmitted through mosquitoes. It is more prevalent during summer and autumn. There may be potential for post-infection sequelae.
We know that intracranial infections in children can cause significant harm. If left untreated or if the treatment method is incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly, posing great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
