I was delighted when Dr. Cervantes-Arslanian agreed to guest-edit this issue devoted to “Neuroinfectious Disease,” which is a worldwide problem encompassing developing and developed countries alike. Dr. Cervantes-Arslanian and her authors have put together a comprehensive review in this issue of Seminars in Neurology, which is a true tour de force that will most certainly benefit neurologists and other clinicians worldwide.
