NeuroInfections

A virus, bacteria, parasite, or fungus that attacks the respiratory and spinal cord can cause neurological infections, which can range in severity from a minor illness to a serious condition that can even result in death. The meninges covering the brain are affected by encephalitis when the nervous system is infected. And the second type of neuroinfection is caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which results in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (IDS) and has a worse impact on the central nervous system of the brain. By entering the body, pathogens infect numerous organs, including the central nervous system (NS). When these pathogens reach the NS, these infections occur. Bacterial neuroinfections frequently follow nasal-pharyngeal or inner-ear infections.
