Neurological Infections
Neurological infections, which affect the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system, are serious health threats caused by various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Common neurological infections include meningitis, encephalitis, and brain abscesses. At the 2nd Edition of the Infectious Diseases World Conference, experts focused on advancements in diagnostic techniques, treatment options, and prevention strategies for these life-threatening infections. Key discussions included emerging viral infections such as Zika and West Nile virus, new antimicrobial therapies, and the importance of early detection to prevent long-term neurological damage. The conference also emphasized the need for global research collaboration and public health initiatives to address the rising burden of neurological infections.
