#REDIRECT [[Altarian encephalitis]]
'''Altairian encephalitis''' is the [[disease]] caused by a [[retrovirus]] which can lie dormant many [[Earth measurements#year|years]] before becoming active and subjecting its host to a [[coma]] and delirium for [[Earth measurements#day|days]]. Once active, the [[virus]] erases all [[engram|memories]] back to the point of infection through [[synapse]] degradation. [[Klingon|Klingons]] seem to be immune to the infection.
 
 
In [[2367]], [[Doctor]] [[Beverly Crusher]] claimed that [[Commander]] [[William Riker]] had been infected with Altairian encephalitis in an illusion created by the [[alien]] [[Barash]]. ({{TNG|Future Imperfect}})
