Brain fever information


Brain fever (or cerebral fever) describes a medical condition where supposedly the brain becomes inflamed and causes a variety of symptoms and can lead to death. The terminology is dated and is encountered most often in Victorian literature, where it typically describes a potentially life-threatening illness brought about by a severe emotional upset.[1][2]
