Central Nervous System Infections
Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2018Infections of the nervous system are potential life-threatening and are caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Prompt recognition and treatment of a central nervous system (CNS) infection is crucial for patient survival, as these infections have a high morbidity and mortality.

Arboviral central nervous system infections
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2021Purpose of review This review provides an overview of arthropod-borne virus (arbovirus) infections that are important causes of human neurological infections world-wide. As many of the individual viruses in a specific genus or family cause overlapping clinical syndromes, this review discusses important viruses in groups to ...

Cryptococcal Infection of the Central Nervous System
Medical Clinics of North America, 1985The pathogenesis, clinical signs and symptoms, laboratory manifestations, and laboratory diagnosis of cryptococcal infection of the central nervous system are reviewed, as well as the interaction between the organism and the immune system of the host. In addition, based on our own experience and that of others, the therapy and prognosis of cryptococcal

Ehrlichia infection of the central nervous system
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2006Ehrlichiosis in the United States is caused by three closely related bacterial species (Ehrlichia chaffeensis, Ehrlichia ewingii, and Anaplasma phagocytophilum), all transmitted through tick bite. Although there is variation with respect to geography and tick vector, the clinical manifestations are similar, and treatment of these infections is ...

Central Nervous System Infection
Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2010This article outlines a practical imaging approach to CNS infection and reviews 5 basic imaging patterns commonly seen: (1) extra-axial lesion, (2) ring-enhancing lesion, (3) temporal lobe lesion, (4) basal ganglia lesion, and (5) white matter abnormality.

Measles Infection of the Central Nervous System
Journal of Neurovirology, 2003Central nervous system (CNS) complications occurring early and late after acute measles are serious and often fatal. In spite of functional cell-mediated immunity and high antiviral antibody titers, an immunological control of the CNS infection is not achieved in patients suffering from subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE).

Infections of Central Nervous System Shunts
Medical Clinics of North America, 1985Approximately 1 out of every 10 ventricular shunts for hydrocephalus will become infected. This represents a three- to fivefold increase in infection rate compared with other neurosurgical procedures. Most often, the infection results from colonization of the shunt device by normally nonpathogenic skin flora at the time of surgery.

FUNGAL INFECTIONS OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 2000The diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system fungal infections typically pose problems for the clinician. With an increased incidence of fungal infections in immunocompromised patients, neuroradiologic imaging has become essential in determining complications and outcomes.

Infections of the Central Nervous System
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1992Infections of the central nervous system are common, serious medical conditions. One hundred consecutive adult cases with purulent meningitis of known etiology encountered by the Medical Service at Parkland Memorial Hospital were reviewed. Streptococcus pneumoniae was the most common pathogen (56 cases), followed by Neisseria meningitidis (16 cases ...

Neuroimaging of central nervous system infections
Seminars in Pediatric Infectious Diseases, 2003During the past decade, advances have been made in the technology used to image the pediatric central nervous system. Although computed tomography (CT) remains the first line of imaging for the sick child admitted to the emergency room with fever and altered mental status, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers superior soft tissue imaging of central ...
