CSF culture is insensitive, the determination of 尾-D glucan may aid diagnosis. Initial treatment with LAmB and prolonged maintenance with azoles is recommended. CNS involvement in the setting of disseminated histoplasmosis, blastomycosis and coccidioidomycosis occurs among immunocompromised patients living ...
NA;The anatomy of the head and neck is complex with many contiguous spaces. As a result, infections in one anatomical region may easily spread to involve other anatomical regions, including the pharynx, eye, and brain. This may lead to devastating results, including airway obstruction, blindness...

After a patient inhales droplet micronuclei, which harbor mycobacteria, the alveolar macrophages will be infected. Spread throughout the body can occur afterward. In TBM, three different types of granuloma represent three different stages in the development of the same pathological process: (1) non...
Administration of cytokines to animals can elicit many effects on the brain, particularly neuroendocrine and behavioral effects. Cytokine administration also alters neurotransmission, which may underlie these effects. The most well studied effect is the activation of the hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenocortical ...
glia have traditionally been considered to be victim cells during bacterial infections, but it has become increasingly apparent that resident cells of the CNS have the potential to contribute to the initiation and/or progression of inflammatory host responses following bacterial invasion of the brain. ...
There is also evidence that the protein fragment amyloid beta, which forms insoluble plaques in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s, functions as an antimicrobial peptide, and is secreted at higher levels by brain cells in response to infections. Since the 2003-2004 wave, ECA study ...
