Abstract

Encephalitis is an acute inflammation of the central nervous system that is characterized by fever, headache, and sleep disorders. Among the causes of meningoencephalitis are bacterial and viral infections, autoimmune diseases, and drug reactions. This case report describes a male patient who experienced hemiplegia following encephalitis. A 35-year-old patient consulted a physician with complaints of fever and headache. The clinical evaluation was encephalitis and the patient was treated accordingly. A severe neurological deficit developed, and the patient became bedridden, After treatment, the patient was included in an inpatient physical therapy program and was subsequently discharged with the ability to walk using parallel bars. The aim of this case report was to draw attention to the rehabilitation process applied after the diagnosis and treatment of a patient with hemiplegia that developed as a complication of encephalitis.
