"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.

  • Covers all major CNS bacterial infections
  • Provides best practices in diagnosis and treatment
