AB Central  nervous  system  (CNS)  infections  are  often  life-threatening  and  can  have  severe  sequelae.  These  infections  cause  inflammation  and  edema  within  the  unyielding  cranium,  resulting  in  damage  to  brain  tissue  and  loss  of  function.  The  most  common  causes  of  CNS  infections  are  bacteria  and  viruses,  but  fungi,  protozoa,  and  helminths  also  cause  these  infections.
