IAN Reviews in Neurology 2025: Infections of the Nervous System for Neurologists and DM Neurology Trainees | 28-Chapter CME Reference from the Indian Academy of Neurology: 1

IAN Reviews in Neurology 2025: Infections of the Nervous System is a comprehensive update on nervous system infections compiled by the Indian Academy of Neurology (IAN), bringing together 28 chapters from eminent neurologists in the field. Structured across seven sections, it moves from epidemiology and immunopathogenesis through diagnostics into a disease-by-disease review of bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic and congenital infections, closing with a dedicated section on antimicrobial management. The seven sections track the natural path of the subject: epidemiology and immunopathogenesis of neuroinfections; diagnostics, from the syndromic clinical approach through neuroimaging, CSF analysis and emerging molecular biomarkers; bacterial infections such as tuberculous meningitis, acute bacterial meningitis and brain abscess, and neurosyphilis; viral infections spanning acute viral encephalitis, HIV, arboviral disease from an Indian perspective, and the neurological manifestations of COVID-19; fungal, parasitic and atypical infections including cerebral malaria, neurocysticercosis and prion disease; special considerations such as neuroinfections in immunocompromised hosts, congenital infections and infections of the spine and spinal cord; and a closing management section with dedicated update chapters on CNS antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral therapy. Every chapter opens with a boxed abstract and keywords, then works through each pathogen or condition using a consistent syndromic structure - epidemiology, clinical manifestations and treatment - so related infections can be read or looked up the same way every time. Numbered tables classify major pathogen families, flowcharts and boxed panels break down classification schemes, and figures map CNS/PNS syndromes to their causative organisms alongside global and India-specific outbreak timelines and maps. Who This Book Is For: Neurologists: a single consolidated update on the diagnosis and management of bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, and congenital infections of the nervous system, organized for quick clinical reference. Neurology Postgraduates (DM/DNB): a structured, syndromic review of neuroinfectious disease built around the same epidemiology-diagnosis-management framework used in DM neurology training and CME. Neurosurgeons: dedicated chapters on suppurative CNS infections and brain abscess, infective vasculitis, and infections of the spine and spinal cord relevant to surgical decision-making. Infectious Disease Specialists: disease-specific chapters spanning bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, rickettsial, and prion infections of the nervous system, with an entire section on antimicrobial management. Physicians: chapters on systemic bacterial infections with neurological complications and neuroinfections in immunocompromised hosts support the general/internal medicine physicians who first encounter these presentations. Why This Book Helps: Consolidates a fast-moving field: 28 chapters from specialists working in neuroinfectious disease bring epidemiology, immunopathogenesis, diagnostics, and management into one current reference instead of scattered journal literature. Builds a syndromic diagnostic approach: a dedicated diagnostics section (clinical clues and syndromic approach, neuroimaging, CSF analysis and emerging biomarkers) structures how to work up a suspected CNS infection. Tracks emerging and reemerging threats: dedicated chapters on emerging/reemerging viral neuroinfections, arboviral infections from an Indian perspective, and neurological manifestations of COVID-19 keep pace with a changing infectious landscape. Separates diagnosis from management: a standalone management section with distinct antifungal, antibacterial/antitubercular, and antiviral therapy update chapters makes treatment-focused lookup fast. Grounded in the Indian disease burden: chapter 1 reviews the epidemiology of nervous system infections in India specifically, alongside India-focused chapters on arboviral infections and CNS tuberculosis. Key Features: 28 chapters across 7 sections, compiled by the Indian Academy of Neurology and written by eminent neurologists working in neuroinfectious disease. Boxed abstract and keywords line at the start of every chapter, for fast pre-reading orientation. Numbered classification tables for major pathogen groups, including neurotropic viruses, human herpesviruses, influenza viruses, mononegaviruses, nidovirales, and enteroviruses. Flowcharts, boxed classification panels, and figures mapping CNS/PNS syndromes to causative organisms, plus global and India-specific outbreak timeline and map figures. A dedicated 3-chapter management section covering current CNS antifungal, antibacterial/antitubercular, and antiviral therapy updates.
