传染病在现代临床实践中越来越常见，当代神经科医生必须了解常见旅行相关感染的临床表现、潜在并发症和治疗。作者为出现神经系统症状、有热带和发展中国家旅行或居住史的患者提供了一种方法。尽管许多其他感染在这一人群中也很重要，但它们重点关注神经科医生可能遇到的三种寄生虫感染：脑疟疾、神经血吸虫病和神经囊尾蚴病。讨论了每种感染的流行病学、病理生理学、临床表现、诊断评估和治疗。
Infectious diseases are increasingly common in modern clinical practice and the contemporary neurologist must be aware of the clinical manifestations, potential complications, and management of common travel-related infections. The authors provide an approach to patients who present with neurologic symptoms, with a history of travel to or residence in tropical and developing countries. Although many other infections are important in this demographic, they focus on three parasitic infections that neurologists may encounter: cerebral malaria, neuroschistosomiasis, and neurocysticercosis. The epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment are discussed for each infection.
