The past year has forced us all to contend with the devastating power of infectious disease. The daily, mortal fear of infection is a new experience for many people in the developed world. But that fear characterizes life for millions of people around the globe -- including those who have already lived through plagues or lost loved ones to curable infections. These infections disproportionately target those living in poverty. Many have epidemic or pandemic potential. And many have neurological manifestations. In this episode, Dr. Adeline Goss interviews Dr. Farrah Mateen, a neuroinfectious disease specialist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and her recent work with a group of colleagues to compile the neurological manifestations of the 20 diseases with epidemic or pandemic potential recognized by the World Health Organization. Season 2, Episode 3
