Hypothesis
Infectious diseases of the nervous system are often neglected despite their significant impact on human suffering and socioeconomic development.

Infectious diseases of the nervous system in developing countries require urgent attention and improved strategies for diagnosis and treatment.
Supporting Evidence

- Human African trypanosomiasis has re-emerged as a significant health threat in sub-Saharan Africa.
- HIV can lead to neurocognitive disorders, significantly affecting daily life and employment.
Takeaway
Some diseases that affect the brain can make it hard for people to think or move, especially in poorer countries. We need to find better ways to help people with these diseases.
Limitations
