Abstract

Several pathogens have the propensity to involve blood vessels during central nervous system infection, which can lead to cerebrovascular complications. Infection is a recognized cause of secondary central nervous system vasculitis. It is important not to miss the diagnosis of infection-related central nervous system vasculitis because specific antimicrobial therapy may be necessary; this article reviews the major implicated organisms.
