ABSTRACT

The central neuron system [CNS] could be infected by several micro organisms despite being protected by several mechanisms. The routs of entry are multiple, and several factors could predispose patients to CNS infection. CNS infection in the Intensive Care Unit [ICU] is particularly significant due to the peculiar patients affected and the associated high mortality and morbidity. This article is an overview of the CNS infections in the ICU set-up, presenting the commonest types of infections, their clinical presentation, the diagnostic work-up, and the treatment modalities advocated
