| Description |
Six families of DNA viruses may infect the CNS: 1. Adenoviridae; 2. Hepadnaviridae; 3. Herpesviridae; 4. Papovaviridae; 5. Parvoviridae; 6. Poxviridae. Both CNS and ocular infection are rare complications of systemic infection by some of these viruses (e.g., the Adenoviridae, Hepadnaviridae, Parvoviridae, and Poxviridae), whereas they are both common and important complications of systemic infection by others (e.g., Herpesviridae and Papovaviridae). In this section, we consider the DNA viruses of neuro-ophthalmologic significance. |
