10 Symptoms of Encephalitis
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Seizures
Seizures are quite a dramatic symptom and something that is likely to cause considerable alarm. If you are experiencing seizures then it is a sure sign that there is something potentially very serious going on in the brain. Seizures are also risky because they can occur without warning and pose a very real threat of harm coming to the patient.
For people with encephalitis, seizures are a sign that the condition is reaching an advanced stage. Not only is there an immediate risk of harm, the seizures are also a sign that permanent brain damage is more likely to occur. Seizures should always be treated as a medical emergency.
