Neuro Infectious Diseases
Neurological infections can impact the nervous system, spanning from the brain and spinal cord to nerves and muscles. Predominantly, they encompass conditions like encephalitis and meningitis, where inflammation of the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, triggered by bacterial or viral agents, can result in severe outcomes including disability or fatality. This medical field focuses on advancing scientific investigation into the neurophysiology, prognosis, diagnosis, and treatment of such infections that affect the nervous system due to bacterial or viral causes, aiming to prevent and manage their potentially grave consequences.
