Neurologic infections are global phenomena that pose a challenge for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. The Covid-19 pandemic, which has taken the world by storm over more than two years, now seems to be receding but will remain endemic in many countries for a long time and we will continue to see new cases and publications of acute, long- and post-covid neurological manifestations including post-covid 19 vaccine manifestations.
Over time, infections such as monkeypox and Polio have made the headlines and we have decided to include information about emerging neurologic infections under this new web page. With change in environment and migration, neurologic infections remain a big public health concern for everyone.
We aim to provide peer reviewed information through this website with pertinent timely updates highlighting new developments. We will appreciate your suggestions*.
