Core Tip This study from rural part of western India provides analyses of pediatric central nervous system infections from resource limited setting. Viral encephalitis has overtaken bacterial meningitis as the leading cause, while tuberculous meningitis remains fatal with high disability. Seasonal clustering during the monsoon highlights environmental influences on transmission of disease. The findings emphasize the need for improved vaccination, vector control, rapid diagnostics, and rural neurocritical and rehabilitation services to reduce mortality and long-term sequelae.
