Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Is encephalitis prone to recurrence?Doctor's answer:
How many types of encephalitis are there? Bacterial encephalitis, viral encephalitis, tuberculous encephalitis, and so on. If treatment is not thorough, it can relapse. Viral and bacterial encephalitis can usually heal on their own with proper treatment. For tuberculous encephalitis, if medication is not used correctly, it is easy to develop drug resistance. The treatment course may not be long enough, and even though symptoms disappear, the tuberculosis bacteria may not be completely eliminated. During times of weakened immunity, it is easy for the condition to relapse. It is recommended to seek proper treatment under the guidance of a doctor and undergo regular follow-up examinations.
