Infectious diseases are associated with stroke due to various mechanisms, including activation of inflammatory cascade, vasculitis, hypercoagulable state, accelerated atherosclerosis or structural heart or aortic disease. Interference with these mechanisms or treatment directed at the etiology may help to decrease recurrent stroke risk. The current session aims to review the pathophysiology and management of infectious diseases associated with stroke.
