Abstract

Infections of the nervous system can significantly affect bladder function as a result of peripheral and/or central neuropathy. Due to a wide variety of possible pathogens, clinical presentation varies. Both urological and non-urological symptoms may appear. Retention is the most common urological dysfunction, followed by urinary incontinence with frequency and urgency. Treatment should be implemented as soon as reasonably possible and tailored to underlying pathology.
