Viral meningoencephalitis is highly heterogeneous, varying by geographic location. The aim of this study was to characterize the etiology and reporting the clinical findings and outcome of viral encephalitis in children in southern Brazil. A cross-Sectional study was conducted at Hospital Pequeno Príncipe, Curitiba, Brazil, between January 2013 and December 2017. It included patients younger than 18 years, who fulfilled the criteria altered mental status as a major criteria and 2 or more minor criteria (1) fever, (2) seizures, (3) focal neurologic findings, (4) central system fluid white cell count of ≥5 cells/mm, (5) abnormal brain imaging, and/or (6) electroencephalogram abnormalities. Viral meningoencephalitis was diagnosed in 270 children, with median age of 2 years (interquartile range 0-4), The etiology of viral meningoencephalitis was confirmed in 47% of patients. Enterovirus (18%) was the major cause of encephalitis in Southern Brazilian children, and a high prevalence of Epstein-Barr virus (6%) was demonstrated. Most patients presented with fever (81%), followed by vomiting (50%), focal neurologic findings (46%), seizures (31%) and headache (30%). Few abnormalities were detected on electroencephalograms and brain magnetic resonance images. On discharge from hospital, symptoms resolved completely in 87% of children. Sequelae were mainly observed in patients with focal neurologic symptoms (P<0.001), presence of seizures (P<0.001) and electroencephalogram abnormalities (P=0.024). Enterovirus was the major cause of encephalitis. Etiologic agent of encephalitis seems to be influenced by the local virologic pattern. A poor outcome was identified in patients with seizures, focal neurologic findings and electroencep
