Neurological manifestations in selected neglected tropical diseases

The paper presents an overview and brief epidemiological-clinical-therapeutic characteristics of selected neglected tropical diseases that have been shown to be manifested by neurological symptoms and syndromes. In the conditions of the Czech and Slovak Republics, these are generally exotic diagnoses and little-known to unknown aetiological agents. The information presented provides practical neurologists with initial guidance in this issue that has become quite important recently given the current era characterized by a widespread global work and leisure travel as well as increasing migration of the population.

Keywords: neglected tropical diseases, neurological symptoms, bacterial nervous system (NS) infections, viral NS infections, parasitic NS infections
