Huntington's Disease:   Huntington's disease is a rare, inherited disease that causes the progressive breakdown (degeneration) of nerve cells in the brain. Huntington's disease has a wide impact on a person's functional abilities and usually results in movement, thinking (cognitive) and psychiatric disorders. Huntington's disease symptoms can develop at any time, but they often first appear when people are in their 30s or 40s. If the condition develops before age 20, it's called juvenile Huntington's disease. When Huntington's develops early, symptoms are somewhat different and the disease may progress faster. Medications are available to help manage the symptoms of Huntington's disease. But treatments can't prevent the physical, mental and behavioral decline associated with the condition. Symptoms: Huntington's disease usually causes movement, cognitive and psychiatric disorders with a wide spectrum of signs and symptoms. Which symptoms appe...

Central Nervous System Infections The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the body’s nervous system that includes the brain and spinal cord. It controls most functions of the body and mind. An infection of the central nervous system can be a life-threatening condition, especially for children with weakened immune systems. These infections need quick diagnosis and immediate treatment by an infectious disease specialist. Bacteria, fungi and viruses are the most common causes of CNS infections. Central nervous system infections caused by bacteria or fungi can cause illnesses such as: Brain abscesses, Bacterial meningitis, Severe headache, Back pain, Stiff neck, Confusion, Weakness, Fever, Seizures, Paralysis, Viral meningitis , Encephalitis, Fever, Irritability, Not wanting to eat, High pitched cry, Head and neck pain, Seizures.

Neurological infections encompass a large variety of conditions that invade and affect the nervous system. Despite advances in therapy and the development of early detection techniques, many of these conditions can cause severe, chronic and even life threatening problems for those affected by them. Several factors contribute to the widespread incidence of neurological infections, such as: The rising number of people infected with HIV/AIDS who are susceptible to neurological infection due to impaired immunity. The increasing use of immnosuppressant medications such as anti-cancer drugs that leave people vulnerable to neurological infection. Several viral infections of the central nervous system have emerged that are not yet amenable to available treatment. The geographical spread of neurological infections is increased through people’s frequent travelling and movement between region Symptoms Various different organisms can target the brain, spinal cord or peripheral nerves, with bacteri...
