AB Inflammatory,  autoimmune,  and  infectious  disorders  represent  some  of  the  classic  medical  conditions  associated  with  neuropsychiatric  symptomatology.  From  systemic  lupus  erythematosus  (SLE),  the  archetypal  example  of  a  rheumatologic  condition  that  can  present  with  prominent  neuropsychiatric  symptoms,  to  Susac’s  syndrome,  a  far  less  commonly  known  entity  with  documented  neuropsychiatric  disturbance  typically  limited  to  cognitive  dysfunction,  these  conditions  include  the  full  range  of  clinical  presentations,  pathophysiologic  mechanisms,  and  approaches  to  management.  Immune-mediated  processes  contribute  to  the  pathophysiology  by  which  many  inflammatory  and  infectious  disorders  cause  brain  damage  and  neuropsychiatric  manifestations.  To  do  justice  to  the  wide  range  of  disorders  potentially  included  in  this  chapter  would  require  a  book  in  itself.  Given  the  limitations  of  space  and  the  desire  to  present  a  useful  reference  to  the  reader  interested  in  the  spectrum  of  neuroinflammatory/neuroimmunologic  disease,  this  chapter  discusses  in  detail  some  representative  examples  and  presents  summary  tables  about  different  categories  of  disorders.  Please  see  Table  26-1  for  key  cognitive  and  neuropsychiatric  features  of  selected  rheumatic  diseases,  including  SLE.1–19
