Infectious Diseases of the Central Nervous System Bacterial Meningitis Most common form of CNS infection Organisms reach the leptomeninges via hematogenous spread or direct extension Spinal tap yeilds cloudy CSF with many neutrophils and bacteria may be seen Age group Neonates Organism Group B streptococci; E. coli Infants and children Haemophilus influenzae (now <2 / 100,000) Adolescents and young adults Elderly Neisseria meningitidis Streptococcus pneumoniae 1

Pneuomococcal meningitis 2

Brain abscess Second most common infection of CNS following bacterial meningitis Source of infection Local contiguous spread (sinusitis, otitis, mastoiditis) Hematogenous (Septic emboli from bacterial endocarditis, pulmonary infection, ect.) Stages of cerebral abscess formation Early cerebritis (1-3 days) Late Cerebritis (4-9 days) Early Capsule Formation (10-13 days) Late Capsule Formation (14 days and later) 3

Early Cerebritis Late Cerebritis Early Capsule Formation 4

Late Capsule Formation 5

Cerebral Fungal Infections Often seen as an opportunistic infection in immunocompromised patients Typically reach CNS via hematogenous spread from other organs May produce leptomeningitis, vasculitis, granulomas or cerebral abscess Common Organisms Genus Morphology Patient status Aspergillus Septate hyphae Opportunistic Mucormycosis Nonseptate hyphae Opportunistic Candida Budding yeast, pseudohyphae Opportunistic Cryptococcus Budding yeast, encapsulated Opportunistic or previously healthy 6

Cytomegalovirus encephalitis Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies - Prion diseases Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Worldwide incidence of approximately 1 per million Peak incidence in seventh decade of life Sporadic (85%), familial (15%) or iatrogenic transmission (very rare) Rapid progressive dementia, myoclonus, ataxia, usually fatal < 1 year Other Human Prion Diseases Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease Fatal familial insomnia Kuru New Varient CJD (Mad Cows Disease) Animal Prion Diseases Scrapie Bovine spongiform encephalopathy Others 18

Prion Hypothesis PrP is a 30-KD normal cellular protein present in neurons Disease occurs when PrP undergoes confromational to a protease resistant form This change occurs spontaneously at a very low rat- resulting in the sporadic cases Various mutations in PrP facilitate the confromational change-famililal cases The infectious nature comes from ability of PrP sc to conformation of normal PrP How accumulation of PrP sc causes neuronal cell death is still not understood 19
