What's meningitis like

summary

Meningitis which is more common is caused by purulent bacteria purulent meningitis. Abnormalities can be detected by neurological examination and cerebrospinal fluid examination. For children, their blood-brain barrier development is not perfect, the body's defense ability is low, infection in other parts of the body causes sepsis, and then bacteria in the blood enter the brain nervous system through the blood-brain barrier. Before onset, the patient showed symptoms of sepsis, such as fever, headache, vomiting, irritability and so on. Let's share the relevant knowledge about myelitis.

What's meningitis like

First, there are many reasons for meningitis, most of which are caused by bacterial infection, as well as tuberculous and viral meningitis. More common is that after infection with bacteria, bacteria enter the blood circulation and release toxins, leading to sepsis. Due to the incomplete development of blood-brain barrier, bacteria enter the meninges.

Second: meningitis examination and diagnosis methods are many, can be through blood to assist in the examination, the acute phase of peripheral blood leukocyte count increased significantly. In addition, the pressure of cerebrospinal fluid is increased, and chest X-ray of patients with purulent meningitis is particularly important, and MRI scan can show meningeal exudation and cortical reaction.

Third: the treatment of bacterial meningitis is mainly to accurately find the pathogenic bacteria of the disease, select effective antibiotics, if antibiotic treatment is ineffective, antiviral drugs can be added. The identification of bacteria can be found by cerebrospinal fluid smear and culture. Treatment of high fever, if necessary, reduce intracranial pressure in time to reduce brain edema.

matters needing attention

Antibiotics should be used in time to relieve the disease. The patients and their family members should keep a stable state of mind, be optimistic and positive, do not have too much psychological pressure, and keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. For those who have difficulty breathing and coughing and can't get rid of sputum, tracheotomy should be taken.
