Abstract

Neuroinvasive diseases, which include a spectrum of viral, bacterial, and parasitic infections, present a significant challenge to neurological health. These diseases disrupt the central nervous system (CNS) through direct invasion, immune-mediated damage, or both, leading to acute and chronic neurological deficits. This abstract explores the mechanisms of neuroinvasion, the resulting pathophysiological changes, and the clinical manifestations observed in affected individuals. The complexity of diagnosing neuroinvasive diseases stems from their varied etiologies and overlapping symptoms with other neurological conditions. Advances in molecular diagnostics, imaging techniques, and an understanding of host-pathogen interactions have improved early detection and management. However, treatment options remain limited, emphasizing the need for novel therapeutic strategies and effective preventive measures. This overview highlights the importance of continued research in the field of neuroinvasive diseases to mitigate their impact on neurological health and improve patient outcomes.
