Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
The incidence/prevalence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide.
Incidence
The incidence of viral encephalitis is approximately 3.5-7.4 per 100,000 individuals in the United States.[1]
Age
Patients of all age groups may develop encephalitis. Incidence is higher in pediatric populations.[1]
Gender
Males are more commonly affected with encephalitis than females, though both genders are susceptible to the disease.[1]
Race
There is no racial predilection to the development of encephalitis.[1] However, Native Americans are predisposed to the development of Rocky Mountain spotted fever, which increases the risk of developing encephalitis.[2]
