PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To address the important relationships between stroke and infection, focusing on the most frequent infections found in low-income and middle-income countries.
RECENT FINDINGS: Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide, with a great proportion of the stroke burden occurring in low-income and middle-income countries. Infectious diseases are still a great health problem in developing countries and it is possible that the proportion of infection-related strokes is greater in these nations. Infectious diseases and stroke have a bidirectional relationship. Common infections may act as risk factors and can trigger stroke through different mechanisms in their acute phase. Several intracranial and systemic infections can cause stroke as a direct complication, such as Chagas disease, neurosyphilis, tuberculous meningitis, and neurocysticercosis. These conditions are of particular interest to low-income and middle-income countries, but also relevant to high-income nations because of increasing migration. Finally, infection is a frequent poststroke complication, with great impact in the patient outcome.
SUMMARY: Infectious diseases and stroke are common problems in low-income and middle-income countries. More studies are necessary to fully elucidate the real impact of infectious diseases on stroke burden, especially in countries where epidemiological data are still scarce.
