Abstract

Infectious diseases of the nervous system present a unique problem for clinicians: they are relatively rare, and they are often severe enough to cause injury or death, but they are often treatable. Organisms that cause neuroinfectious disease will develop quickly through their own design. Similarly, over a clinician's career, awareness of these conditions will arise and evolve dramatically. To have the best treatment for patients, neurologists must be kept up to date on neuroinfectious disease on a daily basis.
