Abstract

Knowledge about the roles of virus in the neurological infection has been expanded because of the recent advancement of viral detection techniques such as enzyme immunoassay and polymerase chain reaction: However, detection of neurological signs and symptoms can still indicate a specific virologic diagnosis. In addition, neurological symptoms that are less commonly seen or newly described are reviewed, including opsoclonus myoclonus syndrome, Rasmussen's encephalitis and slow viral infections.
