Management strategy for recurrent encephalitis and meningitis

Abstract

Encephalitis/meningitis includes infectious and non‐infectious. With the improvement of diagnostic technology and the summary of clinical experience, its diagnosis and treatment are becoming more and more clear. However, for relapsed patients, how to control risk factors and prevent disease progression and relapse remains inconclusive. This article summarizes the recurrence factors of different types of encephalitis/meningitis and the treatment plan after recurrence, in order to improve clinicians' attention and management of recurrent encephalitis/meningitis, and improve the prognosis of patients.
