Richard T Johnson Lecture | Neurologic morbidities from pediatric cerebral malaria — Looking Beyond the Body Count

June 14 2022 | 14:00pm UK 

Neurological infectious diseases pose some of the greatest challenges to clinicians. The presenting clinical syndromes are often elusive, determining the causative organisms can be problematic, and there is often little evidence to guide treatment. Whilst many are rare, others are extremely common, particularly in tropical climates, and collectively the disease burden is considerable. The brain infections webinar series brings together the global community working on brain infections. Leading experts discuss presentations, complications, management and disease mechanism of brain infections.

In this Richard T Johnson lecture, which is part of the Liverpool Neurological Infectious Diseases Course, Professor Gretchen Birbeck from the University of Rochester in New York, will be talking on Neurologic Morbidities from Paediatric Cerebral Malaria. This special episode will be a live lecture streamed from the sold out course, and a Portuguese audio option will be available. Participants will also be given the option to register their interest for the 2023 course.


Brain Infections: Acute Flaccid Myelitis

7 March 2022

Neurological infectious diseases pose some of the greatest challenges to clinicians. The presenting clinical syndromes are often elusive, determining the causative organisms can be problematic, and there is often little evidence to guide treatment. Whilst many are rare, others are extremely common, particularly in tropical climates, and collectively the disease burden is considerable.

The brain infections webinar series brings together the global community working on brain infections. Leading experts discuss presentations, complications, management and disease mechanism.

In this webinar we will talk about acute flaccid myelitis. We will also have a brief literature digest of the latest research on brain infections.
