Precipitants of Brain Infarction:Roles of Preceding Infection/Inflammation & Recent Psychological Stress
Stroke 27:1999-2004, Macko,R.F.,et al, 1996
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Our data suggest that both febrile and nonfebrile infectious/inflammatory syndromes may be a common predisposing risk factor for brain infarction and that the period of increased risk is confined within a brief temporal window of less than 1 week.Results of this study argue against a role for recent psychological stress as a precipitant for cerebral infarction.
