TEACHING POINTS

A delay of diagnosis for central nervous system (CNS) infection could become fatal. Although CNS infections associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been widely reported, diagnosis of CNS infections in patients without HIV, healthy population or immunocompromised host after chemotherapy, might be difficult. The purpose of this exhibit is: 1. To understand pathophysiology of CNS infections 2. To review radiological findings of CNS infections in patients without HIV
