Neuroinfections are a group of infectious pathologies that are caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or protozoa, characterized by the predominant localization of the pathogen in the central nervous system and signs of damage to its departments. Clinical manifestations are represented by meningeal, intoxication, liquorodynamic syndromes, vegetative-vascular disorders. In the process of diagnosis, anamnestic data, the…
Naegleriasis is an acute infectious disease caused by a free–living pathogenic amoeba, nongleria. It is a very rare fatal pathology.
