Infectious diseases of the nervous system

Infectious diseases of the central nervous system.

Neurologic disease is seen commonly in cats, with infectious causes accounting for 30-45% of cases. However, since a specific infection cannot be identified in 12-40% of these cases, it is essential that we try to understand these cases better in the hope that we can eventually identify the cause(s), and so determine how best to treat and/or prevent them.

Neurology: Infectious Diseases of the Central Nervous System

If a patient suffers from neurological symptoms, lots of differential diagnoses have to be considered. The following article is organized according to the different pathogens: bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi. Learn and repeat everything from the approach from acute bacterial meningitis to virallytriggered CNS infections with HSV, ESME, VZV and CMV, and to opportunistic infections in immun...

Infectious diseases of the nervous system: pathogenesis and worldwide impact.

The 2008 Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System: Pathogenesis and World Impact conference was held at the Pasteur Institute of Paris, and was the first worldwide conference on neuroinfections. While viral encephalitis and bacterial meningitis are being actively studied in the developed world, much less attention is paid to the often fatal nervous system infections caused by neurotropic virus...
