								  Introduction: Parkinson's disease is one of the most common chronic disorders of the central nervous system. Genetic and environmental factors are known as risk factors for this disease. Conclusion: Several investigations have shown that infectious diseases, especially central nervous system nocardiosis, are likely to contribute to the onset of this disease.  |
