Adult infective encephalitis tends to be managed
inadequately largely due to investigative modalities that are non-specific in
the early disease process. It is therefore critical that new blood and
cerebrospinal fluid tests be added to the list of investigations that can lead
to a diagnosis of infective encephalitis early, as delay increases morbidity
and mortality.
