Treatment of CNS infections depends on the identification of the aetiologic agent and selection of the appropriate antimicrobial or anti-fungal agent (see Tables 5.5–5.9). Treatment of viral CNS infections is mostly supportive and symptomatic. Treatment of non-infectious inflammatory CNS disorders involves immunosuppressive medications. Anti-epileptic treatment of both acute and late PES is performed as for other types of structural brain disorders (see section on encephalitic-related seizures, introduction to this chapter and Chapters 12–24). Interactions between AEMs and other medications to treat the CNS infection/ inflammation should be carefully considered. In animals with increased intracranial pressure secondary to CNS inflammation, treatment and monitoring should be performed similarly to what has been described for animals with traumatic brain injury (see management of traumatic brain injury).
