Hello!
Welcome on HCM!
I carefully read your question and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to an infection.
I can not determine if it is encephalitis, because your symptoms are not really typical of such disorder.
Anyway, considering your medical condition, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some tests ( a brain CT scan, complete blood count, chest X Ray study, ESR, PCR).
Further tests may be needed to determine the cause.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
