Encephalitis Treatment by Experts at Mayo Clinic

At Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, you’ll receive comprehensive testing and expert care for encephalitis by experts who are experienced in recognizing it. While some clinics may only see a handful of patients with encephalitis each year, physicians at Mayo Clinic in Florida have seen hundreds of patients with this diagnosis.  We use the latest techniques, including advanced brain imaging, to help provide the right diagnosis and treatment. Mayo Clinic physicians work closely with Mayo Clinic Lab to evaluate 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), and brain imaging (neuroradiologists).


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.


At Mayo Clinic, our experts are leading research to develop new diagnostic markers and treatments for encephalitis.
