	Central nervous system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The central nervous system along with the peripheral nervous system comprise a primary division of controls that command all physical activities of a vertebrate.
		Neurons of the central nervous system affect consciousness and mental activity while spinal extensions of central nervous system neuron pathways affect skeletal muscles and organs in the body.
		The peripheral system is composed of the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system, the latter being further divided as the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system.

	Central nervous system infection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Central nervous system infections are those infections of the central nervous system (CNS).
		There are four main causes of infections of the nervous system: bacterial, viral, fungal and protozoal.
		Fungal infections may be meningitis or meningoencephalitis, brain abscess, or spinal epidural infection.

	Central nervous system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Central Nervous System (CNS) represents the largest part of the Nervous System.
		Together with the Peripheral Nervous System, it has a fundamental role in the control of behaviour.
		Since the strong theoretical influence of Cybernetics in the fifties, the CNS is conceived as a system devoted to information processing, where an appropriate motor output is computed as a response to a sensory input.

		The use of the lumbar puncture (LP) in the diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) infection in children is controversial [1-3].
		CNS infections were suspected in children with a febrile illness, and at least one of the following [10]: neck stiffness, bulging fontanelle, photophobia, severe headache (severe enough to require assessment in hospital), irritability, reduced level of consciousness, focal neurological signs or convulsions (excluding simple febrile convulsions) [11].

	Systemic Lupus And The Nervous System - Lupus Foundation of America, Inc.
		The peripheral nervous system is comprised of nerve fibers that supply the skin and muscles with the power needed for sensation and movement.
		The nervous system requires an uninterrupted flow of blood to supply its tissues with oxygen and nutrients necessary for normal functioning.
		In peripheral nervous system lupus, a variety of symptoms may occur depending on which nerves are involved.

	THE MERCK MANUAL--SECOND HOME EDITION, Central Nervous System Infections in Ch. 273, Viral Infections
		Central nervous system infections are extremely serious infections; meningitis affects the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord; encephalitis affects the brain itself.
		Some of these infections primarily affect the meninges (the tissues covering the brain) and result in meningitis; others primarily affect the brain and result in encephalitis; many affect both the meninges and brain and result in meningoencephalitis.
		Because the immune system is still developing in newborns and infants, different infections can occur, and the inability of infants to communicate directly makes it difficult to understand their symptoms.

	Dr. Floyd's Lecture
		Central nervous system infections are usually life-threatening, necessitating immediate diagnosis and treatment to prevent death or significant residual brain damage.
		Since delay in diagnosis and treatment of central nervous system infection is usually fatal, attending physician must balance potential risks of lumbar puncture versus potential risk of delay in diagnosis.
		Infection by organisms of femal genital tract is acquired during passage through birth canal; such organisms include: enteric gram-negative rods (particularly Escherichia coli), group B B-hemolytic streptococci, and Listeria monocytogenes; such infections usually present during first week of life.

	CNS Vasculitis
		Central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis is a rare disorder.
		Central nervous system vasculitis can be classified as primary (primary angiitis of the central nervous system or PACNS) when there is no other disease or condition present that may cause blood vessels to be damaged.
		Secondary vasculitis of the central nervous system is more common and can be one part of a variety of systemic illnesses including generalized autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjögren’s syndrome, and a variety of systemic vasculitides such as Wegener’s granulomatosis, polyarteritis nodosa and others.

	CDC - Possible Central Nervous System Infection by SARS Coronavirus
		Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is an acute febrile illness predominantly involving the lungs, and a high proportion of patients die of respiratory failure (1).
		However, the novel coronavirus causing SARS appears not to be confined to the lungs, as suggested by observation of diarrhea (2), impaired liver function tests, lymphopenia, and thrombocytopenia (3).
		The possibility also remains that infection of the CNS never occurred, as suggested by the lack of focal neurologic deficit, normal CSF pressure, cell count, and biochemistry.

		For purposes of organization, infections of the CNS can be divided into two broad categories - those which involve primarily the meninges, and those which are confined primarily to the parenchyma.
		Under the heading of meningeal infections, we will consider general concepts after which three basic categories will be discussed: pyogenic meningitis, granulomatous meningitis, and lymphocytic meningitis.
		In contrast to the organization of meningeal infections, parenchymal infections have been organized in terms of the various types of organisms which include syphilis, parasites, fungi, viruses, and prions (scrapie, kuru and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease).

		The researchers also discovered a high level of Mig, a type of immune system regulator called a chemokine, in the man's bloodstream and brain, which may have resulted from the central nervous system infection.
		There are a few possibilities for curbing Mig's possible role in causing brain damage in SARS patients with central nervous system infection, according to lead author Jun Xu, PhD, of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases and senior author Yong Jiang, PhD, of the Key Laboratory of Functional Proteomics of Guangdong Province.
		Four to five percent of SARS patients treated at the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases experienced central nervous system symptoms, said Dr. Xu; therefore, physicians need to be aware of the potential for brain infection when evaluating patients with the disease.

		Most of the infants (16 of 17) with central nervous system infection could be identified by abnormalities on the physical examination, radiographic studies, or conventional tests, such as the cerebrospinal fluid white-cell count and the VDRL test.
		According to the researchers, the results show that central nervous system involvement is common in infants infected with Treponema pallidum.
		Although identifying central nervous system infections has been difficult in infants with congenital syphilis, such testing is important because the result affects the treatment strategy.
