Encephalitis Treatment by Experts at Mayo Clinic

At Mayo Clinic in Arizona, you’ll receive comprehensive testing and expert care for encephalitis by experts who are experienced in recognizing it. We use the latest techniques, including advanced brain imaging, to help provide the right diagnosis and treatment. Mayo Clinic has a neuroimmunology laboratory on-site that can analyze samples in real time, saving patients time. Our physicians can then determine if there is an underlying immune mechanism to your encephalitis that they need to consider when developing your personal treatment plan.


Causes of encephalitis may include infections and autoimmune diseases, so early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent serious complications and help create a personalized treatment plan.

Multidisciplinary care by a team of experts

Our encephalitis experts include specialists in the brain and nervous system (neurologists), brain imaging (neuroradiologists), infectious diseases, and neuro-infectious diseases.


We carefully manage comprehensive care through diagnosis, retreatment, and recovery. To address complications of encephalitis, we provide rehabilitation and therapy, including brain rehabilitation to improve cognition and memory, as well as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and psychotherapy.


Infectious diseases of the nervous system are among the most challenging neurological disorders. At Mayo Clinic, our experts are leading research to develop new diagnostic markers and treatments for encephalitis.
