Abstract:
In the acute phase of inflammatory diseases of the CNS diagnosis and outset of treatment should be effected with the least possible delay to that avoiding risks of partial recovery. The regained quality of life is of increasing importance for the evaluation of intensive and supportive therapy as mortality could be markedly decreased by anti-bacterial and antiviral treatment. Only a close follow-up will result in definite prognostic assertions. For the early detection of secondary damages the complete battery of up-to-date neurologic diagnostics has to be considered.
