My sister has a serious problem with her son. Doctors say that he has Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. She is desperate. We don’t know why he has that kind of problem. Is it possible that encephalitis in youth caused to suffer from ADHD now? He had encephalitis when he was five years old. Now he is 11.

I think it’s possible. My nephew also has this problem. I can understand how you feel. I remember that I read somewhere that meningitis and encephalitis are also associated with ADHD-like behaviors. You probably know that encephalitis is an inflammation of brain and that it sometimes can cause certain brain damage.
