What Is Viral Encephalitis?
5. Mild Symptoms
As mentioned, people with the condition will usually only show mild symptoms, if they show symptoms at all. These are likely to include a headache, and a mild fever will also be present. The patient will also likely be feeling aches and pains in their joints, which itself is a side-effect of one of the immune system’s responses.
Viral encephalitis will also cause fatigue in people and cause them to feel week. These symptoms can be more severe in some cases but, most of the time, the disease will likely be passed off as the flu. Even patients with mild symptoms can go on to develop more serious symptoms, however.
