The possible causes of central nervous system infection in the compromised host are many. Careful consideration of the underlying defects in host defenses, the epidemiology of infection, and the clinical findings, however, can narrow these possibilities and focus diagnostic testing. Aggressive attempts at early diagnosis and therapy offer the potential for meaningful survival.
免疫功能低下宿主发生中枢神经系统感染的可能原因众多。然而，仔细考虑宿主防御机制的潜在缺陷、感染的流行病学情况及临床发现，可缩小这些可能性并聚焦于诊断性检查。积极进行早期诊断和治疗有望实现有意义的存活。
