MeSH Heading: Central Nervous System Protozoal Infections
Tree Number(s): C01.207.205.300; C01.610.105.300; C01.610.752.100; C10.228.228.205.300
Unique ID: D020808
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020808
Annotation: coordinate with specific protozoan infection and specific site/disease term if pertinent
Scope Note: Infections of the brain, spinal cord, or meninges by single celled organisms of the former subkingdom known as protozoa. The central nervous system may be the primary or secondary site of protozoal infection. These diseases may occur as OPPORTUNISTIC INFECTIONS or arise in immunocompetent hosts.
