AB Infections  of  the  central  nervous  system  (CNS)  in  children  continue  to  pose  a  diagnostic  and  therapeutic  challenge  to  clinicians.  Because  of  the  plethora  of  bacterial,  viral,  fungal,  and  protozoan  agents  capable  of  infecting  the  CNS,  it  is  not  possible  to  discuss  them  all  within  the  context  of  this  chapter.  As  such,  this  chapter  focuses  on  agents  most  likely  to  be  encountered  by  hospitalists  in  the  course  of  their  activities.
