From the brain and spinal cord to muscles and nerves, neuroinfectious disorders affect the nervous system. Infections that damage the brain are known as neuro-infectious disorders. The brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction (the connection between the nerve terminal and the muscle), and muscles are all susceptible to viral and inflammatory illnesses. This might happen in the presence of other diseases in the body, or it can be limited to the neurological system. Symptoms vary depending on which area of the nervous system is afflicted and which disease is diagnosed. It can be difficult to distinguish between an infectious and an inflammatory disorder of the nervous system since some conditions are difficult to detect and there might be a lot of overlap.
