Abstract
Viral infections of the spinal cord are associated with inflammatory changes preferentially affecting the grey matter (poliomyelitis), the white matter (leukomyelitis), nerve roots and spinal cord (radiculomyelitis), or inducing extensive damage of the grey and white matter. Common pathogens include DNA and RNA neurotropic viruses such as herpesviruses, enteroviruses, flaviviruses and retroviruses. Clinical features vary according to host-specific factors, time course and progression of symptoms, spinal cord syndrome, site and area of spinal cord pathology.
