“脑炎”的一般概念根据韦氏词典，术语“脑炎”的意思是“大脑的炎症”。炎症被定义为“感染或损伤部位血管充血、血浆和血球渗出的病态状态”。大多数其他词典都同意这样的定义。由于一些病理学家将脑炎作为脑部感染的同义词，因此出现了混淆。由于在本文将主要讨论的疾病组中，人们普遍承认观察到的解剖变化与词典中的定义相当吻合，因为争论的最重要的问题恰恰是它们是否是由于脑内存在感染性因素所致，而且由于这些损害的实例几乎总是被索引和编目为“脑炎”或“脑脊髓炎”，我们将继续讨论。
GENERAL CONCEPT OF "ENCEPHALITIS" The term "encephalitis," according to Webster's dictionary, means "an inflammation of the brain." Inflammation is defined as "a morbid condition consisting in congestion of blood vessels and exudation of plasma and blood corpuscles at the site of an infection or injury." Most other lexicons concur in such a definition. Confusion has arisen because some pathologists use the term encephalitis as synonymous with infection of the brain. Since, in the group of diseases with which this paper will deal chiefly it is generally admitted that the anatomic changes observed coincide fairly well with the definition in the dictionaries, since the most important point at issue is exactly the question whether or not they are due to the presence of an infective agent within the brain and since, further, instances of these lesions are almost invariably indexed and catalogued under the denomination "encephalitis" or "encephalomyelitis," we shall continue
