"Bacterial Infections of the Central Nervous System" consolidates recent discoveries and best practices on diagnosis and treating infection to minimize morbidity and mortality. The book discusses advancements in neuroimaging techniques, diagnostic studies performed on cerebrospinal fluid, adjunctive therapy, and antimicrobial therapy. Beginning with pathogenesis and pathophysiology of bacterial CNS infections, the book reviews when to suspect a bacterial infection of the central nervous system. The majority of the chapters review specific disease entities, including meningitis, focal CNS infections (e. g., brain abscess, subdural empyema and epidural abscess), CNS diseases caused by selected infectious pathogens (Mycobacteria, Rickettsiae, Anaplasmataceae, Treponema pallidum, Borrelia burgdorferi and other Borrelia species), the neurological complications of infective endocarditis, suppurative venous sinus thrombosis, infections in the neurosurgical patient, bacterial etiologies of movement disorders, Guillain-Barre syndrome, toxin-mediated syndromes of the nervous system and infectious encephalopathy.

Karen Roos is the first endowed professor in the Department of Neurology at Indiana University. She earned her medical degree from Drexel University College of Medicine and did her internship and residency at the University of Virginia. Dr. Roos was Editor-in-Chief of Seminars in Neurology for over 12 years, published five books, and served on the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Neurology. Among her honors and awards, she’s received the Drexel University College of Medicine Lifetime Achievement Award, the International Society for Neurovirology Neurological Infections Award, the Distinguished Visiting Professor Wilford Hall Medical Center Lackland Air Force Base and the UCSF Robert A. Fishman Award. Michael Wilson is an associate professor of neurology at UCSF specializing in infectious and autoimmune diseases of the central nervous system. His MD was from UCSF, with an internship and residency at Massachusetts General Hospital, and postdoc fellowship at Boston University. In 2020 he won the NIH Foundation Trailblazer Prize for Clinician Scientists. In 2023 he won the American Neurological Assn award for Clinical and Scientific Excellence (mid-career).
