Hi,
Unfortunately, there are many long term side effects that can appear after any kind of encephalitis.Many people experience long-term consequences following encephalitis. Post-encephalitic problems may persist for several years after the illness.  People can have chronic pain due to encephalitis, particularly chronic headache.  Central pain (altered sensitivity) can result from encephalitis.Patients may have many cognitive problems, like lose of memory, certain learning disabilities, poor concentration, speech problems and others. Because of that many of them become depressed or angry. Also encephalitis may cause lack of muscle coordination, paralysis or hearing or vision defects. Hope this helps you . Take care and regards  !

To: Encephalitis and the Flu Shot
So my boyfriend had encephalitis about ten years ago. He suffers from qutie a few of the long term symptoms. They still aren't sure whether or not it was caused by a virus or bacteria. Is it a good idea for him to obtain a flu shot?
