Oxford Comma

suggestion

"Septic-embolic encephalitis, also known as septic-embolic brain abscess, refers to a focal or diffuse brain infection, ischaemic and haemorrhagic damages following infective thromboembolism from any part of the body. It is usually caused by bacterial infections from endocarditis."

Line 1:146 · Use the Oxford comma in 'infection, ischaemic and haemorrhagic'.

There Is

suggestion

"There are three main pathogenic mechanisms of brain damage ⁴:"

Line 38:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There are'.

Semicolons

suggestion

"meninges, brain parenchyma, or vascular walls infection by septic emboli or bacteraemia; numerous microabscesses can be seen and occasionally they coalesce to form space-occupying macroabscesses"

Line 41:95 · Use semicolons judiciously.
