Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Encephalitis: ‘I couldn’t remember my boyfriend’
Encephalitis [ɛnsɛfəˈlaɪtɪs] is an inflammation of the brain. It is caused mostly by an infection invading the brain but sometimes through the immune system attacking the brain by mistake. Anyone at any age can get this inflammatory disease, and each year, approximately half a million people suffer from Encephalitis in the world. Symptoms range from mild confusion or drowsiness to loss of consciousness and coma. Also, Encephalitis may cause longer onset, such as confusion, altered personality or behavior, movement disorders, seizures, and memory loss.
When a 23-year-old British woman got the herpes virus, it went into her throat and to her brain and erased her most recent five-year memory. She can’t remember anything she did after she was 17, including her study in sixth form and university, driving skill, and friends. Now she needs to reestablish the past and recent relationships with them, including her boyfriend. Also, she lost her sense of taste and smell, which, unfortunately, is not expected to recover.
Now, she is trying to re-establish the relationships with the help of her unknown friends.
Read the article and learn about how serious Encephalitis could be.
