Bacterial encephalitis is a very serious condition and should be diagnosed and treated by a physician.
Fast Facts:
- Bacterial encephalitis is less common than viral encephalitis.
- Encephalitis can be contagious.
- Symptoms can be flu-like.
- Symptoms in infants can differ greatly from those of older children and adults.
