[Diagnostic difficulties in encephalitis: two case reports].
The differential diagnosis of psychiatric symptoms in encephalitis, especially in the early phase of the disease may be very difficult. It is particularly hard to distinguish it from the classic psychosis. The diagnostic problems have been presented on the basis of analysis of two case reports of the acute encephalitis in young persons. The presence of fever and pathological changes in the CSF were the most important indicators that helped to establish the diagnosis of encephalitis during the phase of acute psychopathological disorders.
