The analysis required is
1) Human RNASeq and downstream analysis as noted specifically related to immune system genes
2) Assessment of human immune system genes DNA (in particular but not limited to interferon, cytokines and chemokines)
The purpose of the above is to develop a predictive algorithm to determine whether an infectious or other non-infectious cause is likely.

The consent form for included participants is as follows:
"Any genetic information ... will only be used for research into infections or conditions that look like infections of the brain, spinal cord or layers around them. This could help doctors to make a more accurate diagnosis. The research may also help doctors know if a person has risks for more severe illness."
