How Are Infectious Disease-Related Headaches Diagnosed?
Diagnosis involves a combination of clinical evaluation and diagnostic tests. Key steps include:
Medical History: A thorough history can provide clues about recent infections, travel history, and exposures. Physical Examination: A neurological examination can help determine if there is CNS involvement. Laboratory Tests: Blood tests, lumbar punctures, and imaging studies like MRI or CT scans can help identify the underlying infectious cause.
