The evidence about enclosing infections in the brain comes from an interview on a science program that greatly impressed me. The medical researcher has been working for years against tons of skepticism, but is starting to get recognition now.

My advice above about nasal passages and immune system is my own practice and I would not be able to point to any studies, though I think it is generally sound anyway.
