The text introduces the current guidelines but also discusses the gaps that leave clinicians struggling to implement the most appropriate approaches for these particular neurological infections. Each chapter delivers the tools necessary to identify and adhere to the most appropriate diagnostic technique, management protocols, and prevention approach for each situation. All chapters conclude with discourse on future directions in research and quality improvement. Written by experts in infectious diseases, the book covers topics that are the most devastating, including healthcare-acquired infections, autoimmune encephalitis, and infections as they present in HIV patients. Meningitis and Encephalitis is a well-rounded resource for all medical professionals encountering these neurological syndromes, including infectious disease specialists, neurologists, primary care physicians, and immunologists. .Infectious diseasesNeurology General practice (Medicine)ImmunologyGynecology Public healthInfectious Diseaseshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33096Neurologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H36001General Practice / Family Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H24003Immunologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B14000Gynecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H26006Public Healthhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27002Infectious diseases.Neurology .General practice (Medicine).Immunology.Gynecology .Public health.Infectious Diseases.Neurology.General Practice / Family Medicine.Immunology.Gynecology.Public Health.616.9Hasbun Rodrigoedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300437003321Meningitis and Encephalitis1744573UNINA
