Abstract: Dear Sir, Acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) is characterized by an acute onset of fever and change in sensorium, with or without seizures, focal deficits, or movement disorders.[1] The most common etiologies of AES in India include viral infections such as Japanese encephalitis, dengue, and herpes simplex viruses.Central nervous system (CNS) demyelination, particularly acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and neurometabolic disorders like organic acidemia, urea cycle, and mitochondrial and fatty acid oxidation disorders can sometimes present with clinical features resembling AES.
