[Correspondence] Increasing understanding of encephalitis

The work of the Encephalitis Society continues to raise important awareness of this condition globally. World Encephalitis Day (February 22) has been a key component of this awareness campaign, reaching more than 60 million people since its launch in 2014. Two reasons drive the campaign: first, the incidence of encephalitis is higher than the incidence of some other conditions (eg, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and some forms of meningitis), which continue to have higher profiles among the public and clinicians.
