📋Overview
Summer encephalitis is a legacy term historically used to describe viral encephalitis cases occurring predominantly in summer months. It most commonly refers to arboviral encephalitis caused by mosquito-borne viruses such as West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis virus, and Eastern equine encephalitis virus. Modern terminology classifies these under arboviral or viral encephalitis rather than a distinct 'summer encephalitis' entity.
