Encephalitis can cause significant morbidity and rarely mortality in children and the etiology often remains elusive. The differential diagnosis in pediatric patients presenting with encephalitis is broad. Despite diagnostic advances, many cases may remain undiagnosed; approximately 50% of pediatric patients with encephalitis do not have an identified etiology. This session will improve attendees’ knowledge on the infectious and neuro-immunology differential diagnosis, evaluation and management of children with encephalitis.
