What Is Roseola?
7. Encephalitis
Bacteria will infect pretty much any part of the body if given the opportunity to do so, and this includes our brain. If the brain does become infected then it will likely become inflamed. This will mean a condition known as encephalitis, and encephalitis is very dangerous indeed.
The symptoms of encephalitis will often be mistaken for the flu – but they will get considerably worse. The patient can begin to develop changes in their personality and they can also start having difficulty speaking. They can become weaker than usual and they can become confused. Encephalitis can also cause seizures, and a loss of consciousness. Encephalitis can be fatal.
