Key Points

To examine the patterns of central nervous system infections among children and adolescents in Denmark from 2017 to 2023.
Conducted a multicenter population-based cohort study across multiple hospitals in Denmark.
Analyzed data on pediatric CNS infections during the specified period.
Identified and categorized different types of CNS infections, including neuroborreliosis and bacterial meningitis.
Neuroborreliosis was identified as the most prevalent CNS infection.
Viral infections were commonly observed alongside neuroborreliosis.
Cerebral abscess/empyema occurred at frequencies comparable to bacterial meningitis in school-age children.
Bacterial meningitis maintained a high association with morbidity and mortality rates.

Abstract

The pattern of pediatric CNS infections in the 2020 era calls for awareness, as neuroborreliosis was the most common disease, alongside viral infections, while cerebral abscess/empyema occurred as frequently as bacterial meningitis in school-age children. Bacterial meningitis remained associated with high morbidity and mortality.
