Today is World Encephalitis Day. Encephalitis is a serious brain inflammation that can be caused by an infection (infectious encephalitis) or an immune system malfunction (autoimmune/post-infectious encephalitis). Let’s recognise this day and continue to raise awareness of brain injury in society ❤️

Deepdale joined buildings across the world tonight in glowing red for World Encephalitis Day ❤️❤️❤️ This is a serious brain condition which is often not diagnosed swiftly enough due to lack of awareness - which leads to death or an acquired brain injury, and life long effects.

❤️🧠 Today is World Encephalitis Day! ⭐️ #Feb22 As an encephalitis survivor, I join this awareness day to shed light on how life-changing this diagnosis can be. Let’s spread awareness and support for all those affected 🙌 #WorldEncephalitisDay #EncephalitisAwareness

15 years ago, I survived viral encephalitis: the most frightening illness I’ve ever had. Unlike many, I recovered without major cognitive issues. I’d never really heard of it before I got it, so I’m doing my bit to get the message out there. #WorldEncephalitisDay @encephalitisint.bsky.social
