Y1 - 2023 N1 - T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment Pediatric Neurology AB - Many pathogens of all classes—bacterial, viral, parasitic, and fungal—can affect the nervous system, both centrally and peripherally. The risks and short- and long-term outcomes from exposure to a pathogen vary significantly depending on a patient’s age, with a fetus and an adolescent having very different responses to the same pathogen. This chapter begins with a brief introduction to different types of neurologic infections and then briefly covers the most common infectious pathogens in each pediatric age range (fetal, neonatal, and infant/childhood/adolescent). We then briefly discuss neurologic infections unique and common in the developing world, in immunocompromised children, and in children with neurologic hardware.
