Description
Infections of the brain in the neonatal period differ considerably from infections in the older child, due to a variety of age-specific factors that are related not only to the child, but also to the mother, and to specific pathogenic organisms. It has been recognized that clinical and neurological signs are often non-specific, sometimes scarce, and seldom correlate with the extent of neuroimaging findings, thus warranting early imaging to ensure timely therapy and improved outcome.
