SUBACUTE AND CHRONIC MENINGITIS

Additional considerations for "checklists to guide the supportive and critical care of tuberculous meningitis"

Checklists are pivotal in the systematic assessment of critically ill patients, pre-operative assessments and for patients with multisystem involvements. Management of tuberculous meningitis is challenging due to prolonged hospital stay, multiple neurological complications like seizures, stroke, raised intracranial tension, stroke, neurosurgical interventions, multiple invasive procedures, health-care-associated sepsis, and ventilation. All these complications are managed by separate checklists to avoid treatment-related errors. The current manuscript aims to ensure completeness of inpatient care addressing issues addressing diagnostic issues, supportive care, and intensive care related issues.

Imaging in Neurologic Infections II: Fungal and Viral Diseases

Infections of the nervous system have a significant impact on global mortality and morbidity. These infections are medical emergencies that are frequently diagnostically challenging. Incorporation of neuroimaging can be essential for early diagnosis and initiation of proper treatment. In this second part of this two-part review, we focus on diagnostic imaging features of selected fungal and viral nervous system infections.
