Diagnosis and treatment of brain and spinal cord infections including meningitis, encephalitis, tuberculosis of the CNS, and post-viral neurological complications.
Neuro infections refer to infections that involve the brain, spinal cord, and surrounding tissues. These conditions can be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated promptly, and often lead to long-term neurological complications if overlooked.
Dr. Sushma Sharma, a leading neurologist at Metro Hospital, Faridabad, has extensive experience in identifying, managing, and treating complex neurological infections with precision and urgency.
🧠 Meningitis
Infection of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord (meninges). Can be bacterial, viral, fungal, or tuberculosis-related.
🧠 Encephalitis
Inflammation of the brain tissue, most often caused by viruses such as herpes simplex or Japanese encephalitis virus. Can lead to seizures, altered behavior, or unconsciousness.
🧠 Tuberculosis of the CNS (Neuro TB)
A serious form of tuberculosis affecting the brain (tubercular meningitis) or spinal cord. Common in India, often presents with chronic headache, fever, and neurological decline.
🧠 Brain Abscess
A localized infection causing pus accumulation in the brain. May result from ear infections, sinus infections, or blood-borne bacteria.
🧠 Post-Viral Neurological Complications
After infections like COVID-19, dengue, or chickenpox, some individuals may develop nerve inflammation, weakness, cognitive issues, or seizures due to immune system overreaction.
Prompt medical attention is critical. Delayed treatment may lead to coma, permanent disability, or death.
🩺 Neurological Examination
🧪 Blood & CSF analysis via lumbar puncture (spinal tap)
🧠 MRI or CT brain imaging to detect inflammation, abscess, or swelling
🔬 Microbiological & PCR tests for detecting bacteria, viruses, TB, or fungi
💉 Electroencephalogram (EEG) in patients with seizures or altered consciousness
Dr. Sharma provides urgent, evidence-based care depending on the infection type and severity:
💊 Antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, or anti-tubercular drugs
🧠 Anti-seizure medications if seizures are present
💉 Steroids or immunomodulators for inflammation control
🧘 Supportive care including ICU monitoring for severe infections
🏥 Neuro-rehabilitation for post-infection recovery, including physical and cognitive therapy
✅ Accurate & timely diagnosis using clinical and advanced testing
✅ Extensive experience with CNS infections common in India
✅ Multidisciplinary approach involving critical care, infectious disease specialists, and rehab
✅ Close monitoring and long-term follow-up to prevent complications
✅ Compassionate care for both patients and families
Neuro infections can progress rapidly but are treatable if caught early. Timely care can save lives, preserve brain function, and prevent lasting disability.
Book an urgent consultation with Dr. Sushma Sharma at Metro Hospital, Faridabad, if you or a loved one experiences symptoms suggestive of brain or spinal infection.
