An attempt at viral eradication should be considered as a first-line therapeutic option for all the nervous system complications associated with hepatitis virus, including cryoglobulinemic syndromes (76). Although there is only limited evidence for direct hepatitis B virus infection of the CNS, most of these data suggest an immune-mediated pathogenesis. Severe adverse effects of direct-acting antiviral, including those related to the nervous system, are not frequent; typical adverse effects include headache, fatigue, insomnia, and depression (107; 118). Chronic hepatitis C virus infection and atherosclerosis: clinical impact and mechanisms. Some members of this family include the Zika virus (141), Dengue virus, West Nile virus, Saint Louis encephalitis virus, Murray Valley virus, tick-borne encephalitis virus, and the Japanese encephalitis virus (125).

Youssef SS, Elemeery MN, Eldein SS, Ghareeb DA. Am J Transplant 2010;10(5):1321-4. Several mechanisms have been proposed: (1) the deposition of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg), containing circulating immune complexes, followed by the activation of the complement cascade (12); (2) local antibody interaction with viral antigens trapped within tissues (43); (3) the reaction of hepatitis B virus-induced autoantibodies with tissue antigens (60); (4) and formation and deposition of cryoprecipitate (70). Acute nephritic syndrome is often caused by an immune response triggered by an infection or other disease.. Common causes in children and adolescents include: Hemolytic uremic syndrome (disorder that occurs when an infection in the digestive system produces toxic substances that destroy red blood cells and cause kidney injury); Henoch-Schönlein purpura (disease that involves purple spots on .

Infection 2013;41(6):1103-9. Among the symptomatic disorders of neurosyphilis, the earliest manifestation is syphilitic meningitis, which typically occurs within the first 12 months of infection and may accompany features of secondary syphilis. Hepatitis C virus is a noncytopathic virus, much of its pathogenesis is due to the activation of the immune response (64). HCV replication in gastrointestinal mucosa: potential extra-hepatic viral reservoir and possible role in HCV infection recurrence after liver transplantation. The virus is believed to spread to the brain along the trigeminal or olfactory pathways. Hepatitis A virus does not result in chronic infection and rarely causes fulminant hepatitis, although it is known to induce a temporary shut-off of CD4+ regulatory T-cells (Treg) function (103) and autoantibodies synthesis (84). Acute viral hepatitis usually has similar symptoms, regardless of the specific viral infection. Thomas DL. BMC Gastroenterol 2018;18(1):19.
