Post-infectious encephalitis is dementia?

Patient's question:

My mother has sequelae of encephalitis. Both my two older brothers and my younger brother have dementia, but I, being the daughter, did not inherit it. I am currently four and a half months pregnant and would like to ask if there is a risk of genetic inheritance when I give birth to my baby?

Doctor's answer:

It may be inherited over generations, so a four-dimensional ultrasound and amniocentesis test need to be conducted to check the fetal development. In addition to symptomatic treatment and eugenics, the patient needs to consult experts for more advice and maintain communication with the doctor. The patient should also pay attention to nursing aspects, such as a balanced diet and maintaining a positive mood. At the same time, the patient should choose a top-tier hospital for diagnosis and treatment to ensure a good therapeutic effect.
