About this title

Review

'This is a valuable and scholarly book about infections in the nervous system. Practicing neurologists and internists will find it a valuable reference for when they want more than a "cookbook" approach for treatment of nervous system infections. The reviews are thoughtful, detailed, and comprehensive.'
Doody Publishing

'Each chapter is a comprehensive account of its subject, each is warmly recommended. I enjoyed reading this book.'
Hospital Doctor

'There are some excellent clinical descriptions... The chapter on trypanosomiasis is one of the best reviews I have read on the subject [...] I think that this book will be useful to neurologists with a specific interest in infectious diseases.'
Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry
