title: [Computerized tomography of the brain in diagnosis of neuroinfections--personal observations].
abstract: An analysis of CT-scans of the brain in 55 patients with suspected neuroinfections is presented. All patients were treated at the I Department of Infectious Diseases of the Silesian Academy of Medicine in 1983-1992. Patients were divided into 3 groups. The first group included patients with suppurative meningitis and encephalitis, the second--with aseptic meningitis, and the third group--patients with other CNS diseases. An analysis has shown that CT-scans of the brain are very useful in an early detection of neuroinfections complications and sequelae, especially brain abscess. The author suggests that CT-scans of the brain may also play an important role in differential diagnosis of neuroinfections and other CNS diseases together with clinical symptoms.
