Summary: | This text offers coverage of topics related to infections of the central nervous system, from molecular pathogenesis to diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Updated and revised, this second edition covers all viral, bacterial, fungal and protozoal infections including those caused by rarer pathogens such as mycoplasmas, slow viruses and helminths. The book's syndrome-oriented approach aims to speed the reader's search for information, as do the disease specific chapters on HIV infection, tetanus, neurosyphilis and Lyme disease.
