Early symptoms of encephalitis in adults typically include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, as well as generalized weakness and altered mental status. Most of these symptoms are quite similar to those of common cold or flu. If a patient develops the above symptoms, prompt medical evaluation is essential to prevent the development of encephalitis.
