The clinical manifestations of viral encephalitis include fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, somnolence, and seizures. It is one of the most common neurological infectious diseases in children. Because the location and extent of brain involvement vary, the severity of the illness differs accordingly. With prompt and active treatment, mild cases can generally be cured, while severe cases may result in serious sequelae or even death.
