Neuroinvasive disease
Neuroinvasive disease refers to infections that affect the nervous system, typically caused by viruses, bacteria, or parasites. These pathogens can enter the brain or spinal cord, leading to conditions such as meningitis, encephalitis, or other neurological disorders. Symptoms may include headaches, confusion, seizures, or even paralysis. Transmission can occur through various routes, such as bites from infected animals, contaminated food, or direct contact. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing the disease and minimizing potential long-term effects on brain function or overall health.
