PY - 2011 T2 - Rudolph's Pediatrics, 22e AB - Viral infections of the central nervous system (CNS) may be variously categorized by type of onset (ie, acute, subacute, recurrent, or chronic), by the level of the CNS involved (ie, 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.
