CNS Infection—Infectious Diseases

by John Fisher, MD

Infections of the nervous system—caused by pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi—are potentially life-threatening. Prompt diagnosis with high clinical suspicion and early treatment of central nervous system (CNS) infections are crucial for patient survival. Understanding the etiologies of these infections—as well as their clinical courses, diagnostic challenges, and treatments—is extremely important, as these infections carry high rates of morbidity and mortality.
