Meningitis, meningoencephalitis and encephalitis in Bern: an observational study of 258 patients

CONCLUSIONS: In the Bern region, Switzerland, TBEV was the overall most frequently detected infectious cause, with a clinical manifestation of meningoencephalitis in the majority of cases. Long-term neurological sequelae, most importantly cognitive impairment, fatigue and headache, were frequently self-reported not only in encephalitis and meningoencephalitis survivors but also in viral meningitis survivors up to 40 months after acute infection.PMID:34872509 | DOI:10.1186/s12883-021-02502-3
