Noninfectious Causes of Acute CNS Inflammation

  • Chapter
Book cover Infections of the Nervous System

Part of the book series: Clinical Topics in Infectious Disease ((CLIN.TOP.INFECT))

Abstract

A variety of noninfectious, inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (CNS) can mimic CNS infection, both acute and chronic. The focus of this chapter is on those that mimic acute CNS infection: allergic and hypersensitivity reactions, vasculitis and the collagen vascular diseases, Behcet’s disease, the uveomeningitic syndromes, Mollaret’s meningitis, sarcoidosis, and chemical meningitis. The para- and postinfectious encephalitides and the causes of chronic meningitis are discussed elsewhere in this volume.
