Understanding the underlying pathogens and disease and developing new ways to diagnose and finding new therapeutics ways is essential for healthcare professionals to manage CNS infections effectively. Common Infectious Diseases of the Central Nervous System: Pathologies, Diagnostics, and Therapeutics explores common prevalent neurological infectious diseases and their pathology, biomarkers, diagnosis, and therapy of CNS diseases. It establishes a link among infections, brain injury, and neuro-cognitive and behavioral manifestations. Covering topics such as epidemiology, parasitic infections, and public health, this book is an excellent resource for medical professionals, administrators, policymakers, researchers, academicians, and more.
