What is encephalomyelitis ?
The term “encephalomyelitis” is used to describe inflammation of both the brain and spinal cord, which can be brought on by a number of conditions that irritate these two structures. Viruses that affect the nervous system, such as the herpes zoster virus, are among the most common causes of encephalomyelitis. People who have this condition may exhibit a combination of symptoms from both encephalitis and meningitis.
