Infectious diseases of the nervous system encompass a range of conditions in which pathogens—including viruses, bacteria, and prions—invade the brain, spinal cord, meninges, or peripheral nerves, leading to inflammation and neurological dysfunction. Research published in Neurological Research and Therapy on this topic addresses both classical infections and emerging post-infectious complications. The journal has documented cases of tetanus presenting with meningeal syndrome, illustrating diagnostic challenges in resource-limited settings, and has explored post-COVID-19 acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, a demyelinating condition that can follow viral infection. Additional work examines autoimmune encephalitis associated with anti-DPPX antibodies in the context of cerebral vasculitis, highlighting the intersection between infection, inflammation, and immune-mediated neurological injury. Studies have also investigated the role of vitamin D deficiency and inflammatory cytokines in neurological health, relevant to understanding susceptibility to nervous system infections. This body of work underscores the clinical and pathophysiological complexity of infectious and post-infectious neurological disorders, the importance of timely diagnosis in varied clinical presentations, and the need for multidisciplinary approaches to management and prevention of these potentially devastating conditions.
