Brain Infections
A few cases of epilepsy can be triggered by infections that inflame and affect the brain, such as AIDS, tuberculosis, viral encephalitis, and meningitis. In these cases, the virus, bacteria, or fungi would penetrate the cognitive system and damage surrounding neurons. The risk is especially high in young children or people with a compromised immune system. Vaccinations are the most effective options to prevent the contraction of these infectious diseases. [9]
