Fungal Infections of the Central Nervous System
Seminars in Neurology, 2019Fungal central nervous system infections present in a myriad of clinical manifestation and remain a significant diagnostic challenge. Presenting symptoms, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, conventional fungal serum markers and imaging correlates of disease are seldom sensitive or specific; fungal culture growth or histopathologic analysis are often ...

Fungal infections of the central nervous system
2014The epidemiology of invasive fungal infections in immunocompromised patients is rapidly changing. Several of the fungi have worldwide distribution. However, some have specific geographical distribution. Sinocranial aspergillosis, mostly described from countries with temperate climates, occurs mostly in otherwise immunocompetent individuals Most of the ...

CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS
Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 1997The spectrum of opportunistic infections occurring in association with human-immunodeficiency virus, type 1, is very broad. These infections develop most frequently in the setting of advanced immunosuppression. There is no part of the neuraxis that is immune to these complications and the concurrence of more than one infectious illness may always be ...

Helminthic Infections of the Central Nervous System
Continuum, 2018This article discusses select helminthic parasitic infections that may affect the central nervous system and reviews the epidemiology, neurologic presentation, recommended diagnostic testing, and treatment approach to these infections.Emigration from and travel to areas endemic for helminthic infections that affect the nervous system has led to ...

Neuroimaging of central nervous system infections
2010Abstract A wide variety of infectious diseases may afflict the central nervous system (CNS). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is exquisitely sensitive in the detection and localization of such lesions. Moreover, many CNS infections exhibit signatures on MRI that make imaging quite specific.

Neuroimaging of Infections of the Central Nervous System
Seminars in Neurology, 2008Neuroimaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and therapeutic management of neurologic infections. This article summarizes imaging findings in brain abscesses, ventriculitis, viral diseases, and opportunistic infections. In cases of uncomplicated meningitis, cranial computed tomography is sufficient to exclude brain edema, hydrocephalus, and skull

Bacterial Infections of the Central Nervous System
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2013Bacterial CNS infections comprise a wide spectrum of diseases, which may be acquired outside or inside the hospital, affect immunocompetent or immunocompromised patients, and be associated with trauma or procedures, as well as other exposures.

Neuroimaging of Central Nervous System Infections
Seminars in NeurologyAbstract Neuroimaging plays a key role in the diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) infections, as well as common infectious mimics. Standard imaging techniques such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), as well as advanced techniques such as vessel wall imaging and MR spectroscopy, are becoming widely ...

Central Nervous System Device Infections
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2016Nosocomial meningitis can occur in association with central nervous system (CNS) devices such as cerebrospinal shunts or drains, intrathecal pumps, and deep brain stimulators and carry substantial morbidity and mortality. Diagnosing and treating these infections may be challenging to physicians as cerebrospinal fluid cultures may be negative due to ...

Enteroviral Infections of the Central Nervous System
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1995Infections of the CNS with the nonpolio enteroviruses are common and important causes of morbidity in both children and adults. Studies have recently defined the short-term and long-term outcomes of aseptic meningitis due to the enteroviruses. Focal encephalitis is increasingly recognized as a complication of enterovirus infection. Patients at greatest
