Abstract

CNS infections are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The epidemiology of CNS infections shows striking differences in geographic regions. We reviewed the literature on clinico-epidemiological features of community-acquired CNS infections in Iran. Our review highlighted that the causes of CNS infections in Iran are diverse but information regarding the epidemiology and precise estimates of the burden of disease are lacking for most neuroinfections. Enteroviruses, S. pneumoniae, and Klebsiella species are the most commonly reported causes of viral, bacterial, and neonatal meningitis, respectively, whereas neurotuberculosis and neurobrucellosis place a huge burden. Improving the national surveillance system and implementing a nationwide data registry system for CNS infections are necessary to provide practically useful information regarding the microbial spectrum and the burden of CNS infections to suggest optimal preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies.

伊朗社区获得性中枢神经系统感染的流行病学和病因：叙述性综述

中枢神经系统感染与严重的发病率和死亡率有关。中枢神经系统感染的流行病学在不同的地理区域有着显著的差异。我们回顾了有关伊朗社区获得性中枢神经系统感染的临床流行病学特征的文献。我们的综述强调，伊朗中枢神经系统感染的病因多种多样，但大多数神经感染缺乏流行病学信息和疾病负担的精确估计。肠道病毒、肺炎双球菌和克雷伯氏菌分别是病毒性、细菌性和新生儿脑膜炎最常见的病因，而神经结核病和神经布鲁氏菌病则造成了巨大的负担。要提供有关中枢神经系统感染的微生物谱和负担的实用信息，从而提出最佳的预防、诊断和治疗策略，就必须改进国家监测系统并实施全国性的中枢神经系统感染数据登记系统。

期刊介绍： The neurological landscape is changing rapidly. From the technological perspective, advanced molecular approaches and imaging modalities have greatly increased our understanding of neurological disease, with enhanced prospects for effective treatments in common but very serious disorders such as stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. Nevertheless, at the same time, the healthcare community is increasingly challenged by the rise in neurodegenerative diseases consequent upon demographic changes in developed countries.
