Abstract

Stroke is a complication of many central nervous system (CNS) infections, but only a few present with stroke without other symptoms or signs of CNS infection. Chief among these are varicella zoster virus (VZV) and syphilis. Delayed cerebral vasculopathy after successful treatment of bacterial meningitis, most commonly pneumococcal, is an emerging entity with uncertain pathogenesis.

Keywords: Central nervous system infection; Delayed cerebral vasculopathy; Syphilis; Treponema pallidum; Varicella zoster virus; Vasculitis.
