Neurological Infectious Disease

Despite remarkable advances in the treatment of infectious diseases, the "CNS" of the central nervous system is not functioning normally. Infectious diseases remain a major challenge. Diagnosis is often difficult and treatment is inadequate or non-existent. Infections can be classified as acute or chronic. Nervous system infections may involve the meninges (meningitis) or the brain itself (encephalitis) or both (meningoencephalitis). Some infections either cause neurological damage themselves or provoke an inflammatory response at the same time as the infection. Some inflammatory diseases can introduce new problems that may be related to the disease. These differences are fundamental as management and outcomes may be affected by the timely initiation of treatment.
