Infections in neurosurgery are a critical concern focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of infections that affect the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. These infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or other pathogens and may arise due to surgical procedures, trauma, or underlying health conditions. Managing these complex infections requires a multidisciplinary approach for optimal care, combining antimicrobial therapies, surgical intervention, and supportive care to ensure effective treatment and minimize complications.

Seek medical attention immediately if you experience persistent headaches, fever, neck stiffness, seizures, or unusual neurological symptoms after neurosurgery. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent complications. Specialists can provide the necessary treatment for effective management.
