AB Pediatric  movement  disorders  span  a  large  spectrum  of  signs  and  symptoms  that  occur  in  a  wide  range  of  conditions,  some  of  which  may  herald  the  development  or  sequelae  of  infectious  disease.  Accurate  diagnosis  of  these  disorders  is  essential  for  treatment,  prognostication,  and  counseling.  Interest  in  infectious  etiologies  of  pediatric  movement  disorders  has  increased  because  of  recent  attention  to  pathophysiology  involving  immunologic  mechanisms.  This  chapter  will  provide  an  overview  of  pediatric  movement  disorders,  emphasizing  their  association  with  infectious  diseases.
