Highly commended at the British Medical Association (BMA) Awards 2019, this new volume from the International Society of Neuropathology series addresses infections of the nervous system, written by expert editors. An expansive and inclusive contents list including rare disorders presented in easily referable chapters, containing; definitions, microbiological characteristics, epidemiology, clinical features, lab tests, pathology, genetics and treatment.

Infections of the Central Nervous System Pathology & Genetics 1st Table of contents:

• Introduction to CNS Infections

  • Basic overview of the central nervous system (CNS) anatomy and its defenses against infections.
  • Classification of CNS infections based on causative agents (bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic).

• Bacterial Infections

  • Meningitis and encephalitis caused by bacterial agents.
  • Pathology and clinical presentation of infections like tuberculosis, syphilis, and Lyme disease.
  • Genetic factors influencing susceptibility to bacterial infections.

• Viral Infections

  • Viruses affecting the CNS, including herpes simplex virus, HIV, and enteroviruses.
  • Mechanisms of viral entry into the brain and resulting pathological changes.
  • Genetic influences on viral infections in the CNS.

• Fungal and Parasitic Infections

  • Infections like cryptococcosis, toxoplasmosis, and neurocysticercosis.
  • Diagnosis and pathology of fungal and parasitic CNS infections.

• Immunologic and Genetic Considerations

  • The role of genetics in CNS infection susceptibility.
  • Immunologic responses to CNS infections.
  • Genetic markers and their diagnostic value.

• Diagnostic Approaches and Techniques

  • Overview of laboratory methods for diagnosing CNS infections (e.g., PCR, CSF analysis, imaging).
  • Case studies highlighting diagnostic challenges.

• Treatment and Management

  • Treatment options for various CNS infections.
  • Antimicrobial therapy, vaccines, and preventive strategies.
  • Genetic research and its role in developing targeted therapies.
