Summary
Infections of the nervous system in the peripartum and postnatal period are serious and potentially life-threatening, and may be due to viruses, bacteria, or, more rarely, fungi or protozoa. Note that there may be overlap between those disorders considered “congenital,” or acquired during gestation (as discussed in Chapter 57), and those developing after birth.
