  • Pathogenesis and classification of central nervous system infection
    Pokorn, Marko
    The infections of the central nervous system (CNS) differ from infections of other organ systems. Numerous infections of the CNS can progress rapidly and cause substantial damage or even death if ... they are not recognized and treated promptly and aggressively. Viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and hehninths infect the CNS, the clinical picture depends on the infecting agent, the site of infection and the host factors. The most common form of CNS infection is acute meningitis of viral etiology, a benign, self-limited disease, whereas the most severe form is bacterial meningitis. The infections of the CNS represent a continuous spectrum of overlapping clinical syndromes from benign self-limiting diseases to severe and life-threatening infections. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is necessary for proper treatment. Therefore, close cooperation between clinicians and the laboratory is mandatory.
