Prevalence and factors associated with seizures among patients with infective encephalitis.

This study confirms the substantial clinical burden of seizures in infective encephalitis and highlights the need to prioritise systemic risk stratification in routine care. EEG abnormality is the strongest independent predictor of seizure risk and should be incorporated into early diagnostic evaluation for risk stratification. Early EEG monitoring, timely antiseizure management, and structured neurological assessment are critical to mitigate secondary brain injury and optimise outcomes.
