Effects of Viral Infections on the Brain

  • Chapter
Biology of Brain Dysfunction

Abstract

Viruses are among the most common causes of disease in man and animals. Viral infections are encountered in the form of common colds, influenza epidemics, infectious exanthemas of children, and a large number of other benign diseases to which little significance is attached. However, some of the most severe diseases of man are caused by viruses, and among them the viral infections of the central nervous system (CNS), and particularly of the brain, are of primary importance.
