title: [Unusual intracranial infections].
abstract: The frequency of intracranial infections caused by microorganisms which have been uncommon in Norway is increasing. Contributing factors are travel, immigration and acquired immune deficiency, either as the result of disease or medical treatment. This article presents some of these infections, and also briefly reviews some other unusual infections which should be considered as differential diagnoses in unclear disease of the central nervous system.
