Challenge of the Unknown: A Systematic Review of Acute Encephalitis in Non-Outbreak Situations
Neurol 75:924-932, Granerod,J. et al, 2010
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Our findings support the hypothesis that new and emerging infectious agents, or new forms of immune-mediated encephalitis, may be responsible for cases currently of unknown cause and encourage the ongoing global effort to identify these. Our review highlights research areas that might lead to a better understanding of the cause of encephalitis and ultimately reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with this devastating condition.
