AB  - Subsumed  under  this  title  is  a  diverse  group  of  disorders  of  the  nervous  system  that  result  from  drugs  and  other  injurious  or  poisonous  substances.  The  neurologist  must  be  concerned  with  the  myriad  of  chemical  agents  that  have  no  therapeutic  utility  but  may  adversely  affect  the  nervous  system;  they  abound  in  the  environment  as  household  products,  insecticides,  industrial  solvents  and  other  poisons,  as  well  as  substances  that  may  have  therapeutic  value  but  are  used  for  their  "recreational"  psychotropic  effects,  or  are  conventional  medications  with  known  toxic  effects  and  may  be  accidentally  ingested.  These  constitute  the  field  of  neurotoxicology.  Also  among  the  neurotoxins  are  those  generated  by  bacteria  and  other  infectious  organisms,  as  well  as  toxins  several  found  in  nature,  such  as  marine  toxins.
