Infectious Diseases of the Central Nervous System

  • Chapter
Pediatric Neurology and Neuroradiology

Abstract

Infections of the central nervous system form a heterogeneous group of diseases. Frequently, characteristic clinical presentation and biological examinations suffice for correct diagnosis and treatment, as in most cases of meningitis or perivenous leukoencephalitis. Sometimes, clinical presentation suggests intracranial infection and neuroradiologic procedures permit diagnosis and treatment, as in intracranial abscesses. The results of CT may be helpful because they are more rapidly available than those of such biological examinations as Koch bacillus identification or interferon dosage. Sometimes CT should have a systematic indication, as in meningitis in the neonatal period or meningitis due to “unusual” bacteria. Follow-up CT scans allow evaluation of therapeutic efficacy and therefore more flexible treatment, especially in cerebral abscesses.
