Encephalitis may be classified into primary and secondary post infectious encephalitis.[1]
Classification
Encephalitis may be classified into primary and secondary post infectious encephalitis. Primary encephalitis occurs when a virus or other infectious agent directly infects the brain. Secondary post infectious encephalitis is an auto-immune reaction of immune system in response to an infection elsewhere in the body, often and often occurs two to three weeks after the initial infection.[1]
