Nervous System
• CNS: brain and spinal cord
• PNS: peripheral nerves
• Cells are called neurons
• No normal flora
![Page 3: Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System. Nervous System CNS: brain and spinal cord PNS: peripheral nerves Cells are called neurons No normal flora.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f385503460f94c54944/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Natural Defenses of the Nervous System
• Skull and vertebrae

VIRAL INFECTION
![Page 18: Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System. Nervous System CNS: brain and spinal cord PNS: peripheral nerves Cells are called neurons No normal flora.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f385503460f94c54944/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Viral Infections of the CNSAcute Viral Encephalitis
• Arboviruses West Nile Virus Encephalitis Western or Eastern
Equine Encephalitis California Encephalitis
La Crosse Encephalitis• Herpes simplex 1 or 2 • Rabies
![Page 19: Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System. Nervous System CNS: brain and spinal cord PNS: peripheral nerves Cells are called neurons No normal flora.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f385503460f94c54944/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Arboviral encephalitis….
… Results after the bite of a blood sucking insect, commonly mosquitoes
The virus is inoculated directly into the blood stream and grows in monocytes and/or lymphocytes
Virus is released into the blood and can enter the brain ….. infecting neurons.
![Page 20: Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System. Nervous System CNS: brain and spinal cord PNS: peripheral nerves Cells are called neurons No normal flora.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f385503460f94c54944/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Arboviral encephalitis is prevalent worldwide
… But each virus has its own locality, due to its host insect vector species (e.g. Culex species, WNV)
… Most disease in the USA is mild with symptoms of fever and malaise, and only occasionally leads to infection of the brain
… Most disease localities are known and controlled by via virus monitoring, disease monitoring and mosquito control
![Page 21: Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System. Nervous System CNS: brain and spinal cord PNS: peripheral nerves Cells are called neurons No normal flora.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f385503460f94c54944/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Rabies
• Viral infection from bite of a “furious” rabid animal:
Animal rabies: Wandering, aggression, biting, salivating
• Virus travels from the bite to the brain, via nerves
• Thus, variable latent period
• A fatal zoonotic disease
Human “dumb” rabies: fever, confusion, anxiety, encephalitis, death
![Page 22: Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System. Nervous System CNS: brain and spinal cord PNS: peripheral nerves Cells are called neurons No normal flora.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f385503460f94c54944/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
RabiesBite Virus grows in muscle
Virus enters sensory nerve ending
Virus travels to cord, brain
Virus grows in brain, changes behavior
Virus travels to salivary gland and is secreted
![Page 23: Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System. Nervous System CNS: brain and spinal cord PNS: peripheral nerves Cells are called neurons No normal flora.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f385503460f94c54944/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Negri Bodies
Diagnosis of Rabies:• Performed via a Post-mortem
autopsy on animals• Observing neuronal brain cells
with intracytoplasmic inclusions (Negri bodies)
• Identification of Rabies Strain• (Bat, Skunk, etc….)
Rabid brain stained with Fluorescent anti-rabies antibody
Rabid brain stained with Hematoxylin and eosin

Hansen’s disease
• Also known as leprosy
• Might also happen in skin and other area
• To test, using the lepromin skin test which was similar to tubeculin test
• Infecting immigrants
![Page 29: Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System. Nervous System CNS: brain and spinal cord PNS: peripheral nerves Cells are called neurons No normal flora.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f385503460f94c54944/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Causes and symptoms
• Cause by Mycobacterium leprae
• Diagnosis similar to M. tuberculosis
• Can also be identified using PCR and skin test
• Progression from tuberculoid – lepromatous - lepromas
![Page 30: Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System. Nervous System CNS: brain and spinal cord PNS: peripheral nerves Cells are called neurons No normal flora.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f385503460f94c54944/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Progression of leprosy
Tuberculoid Lepromas
![Page 31: Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System. Nervous System CNS: brain and spinal cord PNS: peripheral nerves Cells are called neurons No normal flora.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f385503460f94c54944/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Gram stain

Treatment
• Antibiotic such as rifampin, clofazimine and dapsone
• Can reduce the nodules of lepromatous but not the lost tissue
• Vaccine are NOT available, the discovery might take years to succeed

TETANUS
![Page 34: Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System. Nervous System CNS: brain and spinal cord PNS: peripheral nerves Cells are called neurons No normal flora.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f385503460f94c54944/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Causes • Tetanus is often associated with rust, especially rusty nails,
• The rough surface of rusty metal merely provides a prime habitat for a C. tetani endospore to reside,
• An endospore is a non-metabolizing survival structure that begins to metabolize and cause infection once in an adequate environment.
• Because C. tetani is an anaerobic bacterium, it and its endospores survive well in an environment that lacks oxygen.

Paralytic Poliomyelitis• Neurotropic viral infection acquired by
ingestion
• Paralytic spinal cord infection
• Effective vaccine (PV-1,2,3)
• Unvaccinated children are at risk in parts of the world like India, Africa
![Page 43: Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System. Nervous System CNS: brain and spinal cord PNS: peripheral nerves Cells are called neurons No normal flora.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f385503460f94c54944/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The unique stages of infection and pathogenesis of poliomyelitis.
Poliovirus, an “Enterovirus” has an icosahedral capsid shell that protects it from digestion.
GI Tract Blood Cord CNS Paralysis of motor neurons
![Page 44: Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System. Nervous System CNS: brain and spinal cord PNS: peripheral nerves Cells are called neurons No normal flora.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f385503460f94c54944/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Virus travels through blood and the nerves
… And each place in the cord that nerve cells are destroyed causes paralysis to that part of the body controlled by those motor neurons.
![Page 45: Infectious Diseases of the Nervous System. Nervous System CNS: brain and spinal cord PNS: peripheral nerves Cells are called neurons No normal flora.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649f385503460f94c54944/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Polio in the USA in spurred the first human vaccines: - Salk Killed Vaccine - Sabin Modified Live Vaccine
Summer epidemics in the early 1900s in the USA caused panic
