Scope note: Infecciones del cerebro, la médula espinal o las meninges por microorganismos unicelulares del subreino protozoos. El sistema nervioso central puede ser la localización primaria o secundaria de la infección protozoaria. Estas enfermedades pueden aparecer como INFECCIONES OPORTUNISTAS o surgir en huéspedes inmunocompetentes.

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.
