 AB    In the second segment of this three-part review of parasitic infections
       of the central nervous system in children, we consider parasitic
       infections which typically involve various tissues and organs in
       addition to the brain and spinal cord. Parasites capable of
       dissemination in immunocompetent hosts are discussed first, and, as in
       Part I, organisms are grouped according to their predominant geographic
       location. This is followed by a discussion of the unique aspects of
       toxoplasmosis, strongyloidiasis and infection with microsporidia in
       immunocompromised patients, with an emphasis on the central nervous
       system.
