Just wondering does any one on here know anything about meningoencephalitis. I was hospitalised fo 54 days with it.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Autoimmune Diseases Support Group.

Hello @clodaghpower, welcome to Connect. I am not familiar with meningoencephalitis but did find a good article describing the condition in ScienceDirect.

How are you doing since being released from the hospital? Do your doctors have any ongoing or follow up treatments for you?

Another tool you might find useful to find medical and research type information is Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/). I did a search using Google Scholar and here is the link to the search results. Hopefully you will find some more information here.
