Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which is greatly affecting my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Is encephalitis contagious in children?Doctor's answer:
Encephalitis is a disease that will never be infected. Encephalitis is not a contagious disease. It is caused by exogenous viral infections spreading to the brain, which leads to the recurrence of this disease. However, this disease is quite dangerous, as it can cause low-grade fever and may also manifest as confusion or loss of consciousness. It is essential to be admitted to the neurology department of a hospital for treatment as soon as possible. Otherwise, it may affect the normal functioning of the brain.
