Abstract
This comprehensive reference analyses the basic science, clinical features, imaging, pathology and treatment of specific viral entities affecting the central nervous system (CNS), assisting professionals in their attempt to identify, examine and manage viral CNS infections and unravel the therapeutic and diagnostic challenges associated with viral CNS disorders, including HIV infection, West Nile encephalitis and Creuzfeldt-Jacob disease.
