Encephalitis is rare. In England each year, there are an estimated 1.5 cases of encephalitis for every 100,000 people. Encephalitis can occur in people of any age, although children under seven and adults over 55 are particularly vulnerable to infection. In England, the most common cause of encephalitis is the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
