A Prospective Cohort Study to Identify Clinical, Biological, and Imaging Features That Predict the Etiology of Acute Encephalitis

Abstract

No initial clinical/imaging/biology pattern was identified at admission among EUC, despite the improvement in diagnostic tools. In this context, the recommendation for a universal, early, probabilistic, initial treatment against HSV and VZV is still relevant, regardless of the initial clinical presentation of the encephalitis.
