Imaging in Neurologic Infections II: Fungal and Viral Diseases

Curr Infect Dis Rep. 2015 Apr;17(4):474. doi: 10.1007/s11908-015-0474-9.

Abstract

Infections of the nervous system have a significant impact on global mortality and morbidity. These infections are medical emergencies that are frequently diagnostically challenging. Incorporation of neuroimaging can be essential for early diagnosis and initiation of proper treatment. In this second part of this two-part review, we focus on diagnostic imaging features of selected fungal and viral nervous system infections.
