Pediatric Neuroinfections: Diagnosis, Outcomes, and Care
Received Date: Nov 03, 2025 / Published Date: Nov 29, 2025
Abstract
Pediatric neuroinfections, encompassing viral encephalitis and meningitis, are significant global health concerns. This review
synthesizes current knowledge on their diagnosis, management, and outcomes. Advances in molecular diagnostics, novel biomarkers
for bacterial meningitis, and understanding of neuro-inflammatory mechanisms in post-encephalitic epilepsy are discussed. The
long-term neurodevelopmental impact, challenges of antimicrobial resistance, and autoimmune etiologies like anti-NMDA receptor
encephalitis are highlighted. The crucial role of neuroimaging and the impact of conditions such as cerebral malaria and measles
encephalitis are examined. Fungal meningitis in immunocompromised children also presents unique challenges. Emphasis is placed
on early detection, timely intervention, and multidisciplinary care.
