Viral diseases of the central nervous system.
Virus-induced diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) represent a significant burden to human health worldwide. The complexity of these diseases is influenced by the sheer number of different neurotropic viruses, the diverse routes of CNS entry, viral tropism, and the immune system. Using a combination of human pathological data and experimental animal models, we have begun to uncover many...
متن کاملNeuropathologic Diagnosis of Central Nervous System Viral Diseases
The principal aim of this chapter is to provide an illustrated review of the neuropathologic features of common and recently emerging central nervous system (CNS) viral diseases. An overview of the histopathologic features common to most viral infections of the central nervous system will be provided. This will be followed by a description of the gross and microscopic findings characteristic of...
متن کاملVIRAL infections of the central nervous system.
Viral infections of the central nervous system in the tropical countries of Asia and the Indian subcontinent are different from those of the Western and developed world. Many of the endemic and epidemic encephalitides that are prevalent in these regions, such as Japanese encephalitis, have characteristic findings on imaging, especially on magnetic resonance imaging, allowing a rapid diagnosis a...
متن کاملInfectious diseases of the central nervous system.
Neurologic disease is seen commonly in cats, with infectious causes accounting for 30-45% of cases. However, since a specific infection cannot be identified in 12-40% of these cases, it is essential that we try to understand these cases better in the hope that we can eventually identify the cause(s), and so determine how best to treat and/or prevent them.

§ 4.123 Neuritis, cranial or peripheral. Neuritis, cranial or peripheral, characterized by loss of reflexes, muscle atrophy, sensory disturbances, and constant pain, at times excruciating, is to be rated on the scale provided for injury of the nerve involved, with a maximum equal to severe, incomplete, paralysis. See nerve involved for diagnostic code number and rating. The maximum rating which...
