Abstract

In our work we share our experience of the efficacy monitoring on different stages of the treatment and rehabilitation process in children with the nervous system infections. Our center is Pediatric Research and Clinical Center for Infectious Diseases, Saint-Petersburg, Russia. We demonstrate that these diagnostic modalities may and have to be implemented in this population on all stages of the disease. These approaches let to diagnose and monitor the efficacy of the treatment, including rehabilitation. Also these methods may be used as a prognostic tool in children with nervous system infections and its sequelae.
