| Description |
Encephalitis is inflammation confined to the brain; meningoencephalitis is inflammation of both the brain and the leptomeninges. Both encephalitis and meningoencephalitis are characterized by infection and destruction of neurons and glial cells. They are primarily diseases of children, with the youngest children being the most devastated by their effects. Nevertheless, they can occur in adults of all ages. These disorders almost always are caused by a virus that has gained access to the CNS by one of two routes, hematogenous or neuronal. |
