Presentation
Specialists might find useful references, and a clinician might be helped in understanding the clinical presentation as well as the management of various diseases. [academic.oup.com]
ISBN 0-7506-4213-0 Infections of the nervous system often present to and are managed by neurologists, rather than infectious disease physicians. [jnnp.bmj.com]
The presentation is, to some extent, age-dependent. Infants may present mainly with listlessness, poor feeding, and altered breathing patterns. The frail elderly may present mainly with a decline in the level of awareness. [microbiologybook.org]
Recognizing Potential Meningoencephalitis The clinical presentation and course in the donor with ME is not always clearly defined. [optn.transplant.hrsa.gov]

The strategy of “new use for old drugs”, i.e., prescriptions for neglected diseases of drugs marketed for other illnesses [10], should also be pursued to identify less toxic drugs to cure brain infections. [journals.plos.org]

These questions are important for treatment. [journals.plos.org]
The primary purpose of this volume is to cover selected infections of the nervous system which are of considerable current interest, reflecting the many advances in investigations, understanding and treatment of nervous system infections. [elsevier.com]
Researchers want to learn more about how diseases affect the brain and nerves to develop better tests and treatments. Objective: - To learn more about how inflammation and infections hurt the brain and nervous system. [clinicaltrials.gov]
It also has been established that following treatment for infections, clinical worsening may occur due to an immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). [link.springer.com]
Prognosis
Rapid diagnosis and treatment are essential for a good prognosis. With prompt medical attention, an individual may recover completely. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Prognosis varies greatly with the type of infection. Many types of viral meningitis and encephalitis are mild, and the child recovers quickly and completely. Other types are severe. Brain infection with herpes simplex virus is particularly grave. [merckmanuals.com]
If there is an AIDS-related tumor in the brain or spinal cord, radiation therapy or steroids may be helpful, although the prognosis is poor. [healthcommunities.com]
Neuroinfectious Diseases is a medical speciality journal which facilitates scientific research on neurophysiology, prognosis, diagnosis & treatment of neurological infections that are caused by bacterial or viral infection which affects the nervous system [omicsonline.org]

Etiology
DTAC received reports of 9 (10%) recipients with ME caused by WNV, unknown etiology, toxoplamosis, and amebiasis; none were donor derived. [optn.transplant.hrsa.gov]
In some cases, a specific infectious pathogen can be suggested based on typical imaging findings and clinical scenarios; other times, the broad category of infection can only be offered among a range of possible etiologies. [appliedradiology.com]
Etiologies are both infectious and non-infectious. [microbiologybook.org]
Epidemiology
We are involved in various basic science, clinical, and epidemiologic research projects, many of which are collaborative with other institutions. [medschool.ucdenver.edu]
