Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy is a rare and complicated disease in clinical practice. Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acid and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) is the most common type of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. MELAS is characterized with complex and changeable manifestations, which is likely to be misdiagnosed in clinical settings. Certain patients have fever and headache as the onset symptoms. The potential mechanism of fever in MELAS is probably correlated with infection and seizures or the lesions invading into the hypothalamus. In this article, 3 MELAS patients with recurrent fever were reported. All of them had a medical history of seizures and initially suspected with viral encephalitis. The diagnosis of MELAS was confirmed by gene detection. All patients were recovered and discharged after anti-seizure, nerve nutrition and symptomatic treatment.
