G00-G09: Inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system

The group of conditions referred to as Inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system primarily involves inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. This inflammation can be triggered by a variety of causes, including infections from bacteria, viruses, or other pathogens, and immune system disorders. Symptoms often depend on the specific disease but may include headaches, fever, fatigue, muscle weakness, and changes in behavior or consciousness. The progression of these diseases can be rapid or slow, depending on the condition and the individual person's health. Some conditions in this group may cause long-term or permanent damage to the central nervous system, affecting an individual's ability to move, speak, or perform other functions. Despite the severity of these conditions, early diagnosis and appropriate medical management can significantly mitigate their effects.
