Encephilitis

Were you looking for information about Encephalitis? Encephilitis is a common misspelling of encephalitis.

Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain that is typically caused by a viral infection (although it can also be caused by a bacterial infection as well). Possible symptoms of this condition can include a sudden fever, headaches, and vomiting. Encephalitis can cause severe complications, such as brain damage, seizures, and even death. Although anyone can develop this condition, people who have weakened immune systems are at the highest risk of contracting encephalitis.
