AB  - Viral  infections  of  the  central  nervous  system  (CNS)  may  be  variously  categorized  by  type  of  onset  (eg,  acute,  subacute,  chronic,  or  recurrent),  by  the  level  of  the  CNS  involved  (eg,  brain,  brain  stem,  or  spinal  cord),  and  by  the  viral  agent  causing  disease.  The  approach  to  diagnosis  and  management  of  CNS  viral  infection  depends  greatly  on  the  age,  immunization  history,  and  immune  status  of  the  patient,  and  also  the  epidemiologic  setting  including  season,  location,  and  exposure  to  viruses  that  are  circulating  in  the  community  or  transmitted  by  arthropod  vectors.  Molecular  testing  techniques  continue  to  evolve  to  improve  identification  of  viral  agents  causing  CNS  diseases.
