Scrub Typhus Meningoencephalitis With Concurrent Brucellosis in Rural Nepal: Diagnostic Challenges With Negative PCR in a Low‐Resource Setting

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
Scrub typhus meningoencephalitis with concurrent Brucellosis. ABSTRACT Scrub typhus is an important cause of acute febrile illness in Nepal and can rarely present with meningoencephalitis and multiorgan involvement. We report a 32‐year‐old female farmer from rural Nepal who presented during the monsoon season with high‐grade fever, myalgia, vomiting ...

Diagnosis and Management of Infectious Encephalitis in Adults: Guidelines From the European Academy of Neurology and European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases

European Journal of Neurology, Volume 33, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Encephalitis is difficult to diagnose and manage, posing a challenge to clinicians. Since the last European guidelines were published in 2010, novel causes have emerged, diagnostic processes have evolved and treatments assessed which need to be reflected in updated guidelines.
