AB  - Central  nervous  system  (CNS)  infections  are  often  differentiated  by  the  cause  and  type  of  infection  (meningitis  or  encephalitis).  Meningitis  is  a  CNS  infection  characterized  by  inflammation  of  the  meninges,  or  the  layers  of  tissue  that  surround  the  brain  and  spinal  cord.  In  contrast,  encephalitis  is  an  infection  and  inflammation  of  the  brain.  Aseptic  meningitis  occurs  secondary  to  pathogens  or  other  causes  that  do  not  grow  in  the  microbiology  laboratory  when  cultured  (eg,  viruses,  atypical  bacteria,  fungi,  drug  causes).  Meningitis  (aseptic  more  than  bacterial)  is  the  most  common  type  of  CNS  infection,  followed  by  viral  encephalitis.
