Neurologic infections are global phenomena that pose a challenge for diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. The Covid-19 pandemic, which had taken the world by storm is now over. However, there are many reports of post-acute sequelae of Covid 19 (PASC) or long Covid affecting central and peripheral nervous system due to possible viral antigen persistence. Covid 19 pandemic has provided learning opportunities to build a healthier tomorrow.
A global outbreak of Mpox (formerly known as Money Pox) began in May 2022 and on 14 th August 2024, World Health Organization (WHO) Director General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus declared mpox outbreak a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). New spurts in cases of meningitis and encephalitis keep occurring. We will include information about emerging neurologic infections under this web page.
