The Microbiology of Central Nervous System Infections discusses modern approaches in diagnosis, treatment and prophylaxis of the central nervous system (CNS) infections. The volume has been divided into five sections including introductory chapters on the overall treatment strategies, imaging, molecular diagnosis, and management of CNS infections with metal nanoparticles and prophylaxis of the CNS infections, bacterial, viral and fungal infections. The last section contains a chapter on transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, the modern trends in its diagnosis and treatment. The book is useful for teachers of universities, medical practitioners, graduate and postgraduate students, researchers in microbiology, in different medical specialties, pharmacology, biotechnology, and specialists from pharmaceutical and laboratory diagnostic companies Encompasses broad range of central nervous system infections, including questions of etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and prophylaxis, which provides maximally complex look into the topicWritten by highly professional and eminent surgeons, microbiologists and infectious disease specialistsDiscusses topics according to modern insight, not giving only superficial opinion but providing all necessary scientific information on each aspectIncludes scientific understanding and practical guidelines, which makes it interesting for both research scientists and practitioners working with central nervous system infections INDICE: 1.
