Got encephalitis and have been treated for a month, why is the fever still recurring and convulsing?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Seizure-like attacks during hyperventilation are a manifestation of all types of encephalitis, primarily associated with cerebral edema. Recurrent fever is caused on one hand by toxins and inflammatory metabolites following viral infection, and on the other hand by dysfunction of the thalamic temperature regulation center.
