Although the exact etiology is unknown, AHLE usually manifests post a viral or bacterial infection and less often seen post vaccination for measles or rabies. AHLE has a very poor prognosis and a high mortality rate.

The exact cause of encephalitis is still unclear in many cases, although the common etiological factors of this process are viruses such as herpes simplex virus and rabies virus, and also bacteria, fungi, parasites, several medicines and autoimmune diseases. Herein, we report a case of a 56-year-old man with a history of amnestic syndrome, impaired consciousness, somnolence throughout the day, headache, dizziness and hypertension, who was admitted to hospital with suspected neurological disease, and imaging features that were consistent with encephalitis of unknown etiology. Methods which were used to examine patient: cerebrospinal fluid testing, PCR examinations for viruses, testing of antibodies against surface antigens, magnetic resonance imaging of the head, psychiatric consultation, oncology consultation.
