title: Imaging of nonspecific (nonherpetic) acute viral infections.
abstract: Encephalitis is an acute infection of brain parenchyma characterized clinically by fever, headache, and an altered level of consciousness. In the twenty-first century several outbreaks of encephalitis have been reported. Urbanization and encroachment on natural environments, the ease of world travel, and global trade have led to the spread of vectors and viruses.
