• Source: List of infections of the central nervous system

Infections of the central nervous system (CNS) consist of infections primarily of the brain and spinal cord. They include mostly viral infections, less commonly bacterial infections, fungal infections, prion diseases and protozoan infections. Neonatal meningitis is a particular classification by age.




By anatomical site


Brain abscess, Epidural abscess, including spinal epidural and cranial epidural
Encephalitis
Meningitis




By cause


There are five main causes of CNS infections, namely bacterial, viral, fungal, protozoal, protozoan infections and prionic infections.




= Viral

=
Most forms of aseptic meningitis are viral in origin, though neoplastic and Lyme disease meningitis are also aseptic.
California encephalitis virus
Central nervous system viral disease
Cytomegalovirus encephalitis
SARS-CoV-2
Eastern equine encephalitis
Enterovirus encephalitis
Epstein Barr Virus encephalitis
Herpes simplex encephalitis
Influenza encephalitis
Japanese encephalitis
La Crosse encephalitis
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis by Arenavirus
Measles encephalitis
Mumps
Nipah virus encephalitis
Poliomyelitis
Progressive rubella panencephalitis, a late complication of congenital rubella syndrome
St. Louis encephalitis
Slow virus infections, which include:
Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis by Measles virus
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
Rabies
Tick-borne encephalitis
Varicella
Viral encephalitis lists 37 causes
Viral meningitis
Western equine encephalitis




= Prionic

=
These are transmissible spongiform encephalopathies like:

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle
Chronic wasting disease in deer
Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease and its variant
Gerstmann–Sträussler–Scheinker syndrome
Kuru
Scrapie in sheep and goat
Transmissible mink encephalopathy
Variably protease-sensitive prionopathy




= Fungal

=
Cryptococcal meningitis




= Protozoan

=
Amoebic brain abscess
Granulomatous amoebic encephalitis
Malaria
Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis
Toxoplasmosis




= Post-infectious diseases of the central nervous system

=
These are not infections but post-infectious CNS diseases:

Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis
Guillain–Barré syndrome
PANDAS (controversial hypothesis)
Sydenham's chorea
