Extractions: Overview Meningitis is inflammation of the meninges that results in swelling of brain tissue and sometimes spinal tissue (spinal meningitis). Swelling inhibits the flow of blood and oxygen to brain tissue. The characteristic symptoms of meningitis are stiff neck, severe headache, and fever. The meninges are three ultrathin membranes that surround and protect the brain and a portion of the spinal cord: the outer membrane (dura mater), middle membrane (arachnoid), and inner membrane (pia mater).

Another 700 people develop pneumococcal meningitis. In both cases, most of those affected are children under the age of 5. Meningitis is an infection and inflammation of the membranes (meninges) and fluid (cerebrospinal fluid) surrounding your brain and spinal cord. Meningitis is most often caused by bacteria or viruses. Bacterial meningitis is usually much more serious than viral meningitis. Most cases of meningitis occur when bacteria from an infection in another part of your body travel through your bloodstream to your brain and spinal cord. But bacteria can also spread directly to your brain or spine from a severe head injury or from an infection in your ear, nose or teeth.

Time.com People Fortune EW ALLIANCE, Ohio (CNN) Health officials Tuesday ordered a mass immunization program for thousands of people against a bacterial infection that can cause meningitis after two teens died of the infection. Last weekend more than 37,000 residents flocked to two hospitals to get preventative antibiotics. Distribution stopped Monday morning when health officials said the exposure period had expired. The prophylactic antibiotics were given after two youths a 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl died over Memorial Day weekend of Neisseria meningitides group c, a strain of bacteria that can cause meningitis. The boy died of meningitis; the girl died of meningococcemia, an infection of the blood that is more dangerous than meningitis. The two students attended the same high school.

Meningitis is a viral or bacterial infection of the coverings (meninges) of the brain and spinal cord. Viral meningitis usually is caused by a group of viruses called enteroviruses. It commonly occurs in children, and goes away on its own after seven to 10 days. Bacterial meningitis can occur in adults or children, and is fatal if not treated promptly. In the United States, between 2,400 and 3,000 cases of bacterial meningitis occur every year.

CONCORD, New Hampshire (AP) Scientists are examining a strain of bacterial meningitis and trying to make links among five teenagers who contracted the brain-swelling disease. One of them has died. State health officials planned to alert emergency room personnel statewide Monday about the cases and urge them to watch for signs of additional infections, according to state epidemiologist Jesse Greenblatt. He said it is unusual to have so many cases in such a short period. Meningitis, which causes the brain to swell, is spread by fairly intimate contact, such as kissing or sharing utensils or water bottles. It is not easily transmitted through sneezing and coughing. Rachael Perry, 18, died Saturday at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, where the woman, from the southern community of Bennington, had been hospitalized since Christmas, Greenblatt said.

Hay dos grandes grupos de meningitis, que sólo se parecen en el nombre: las producidas por virus (meningitis víricas), que son benignas, y las producidas por bacterias (meningitis bacterianas), que pueden ser graves, provocando secuelas, sobre todo sordera, y en algún caso incluso la muerte. Los dos microbios que con mayor frecuencia producen meningitis bacteriana son el Haemophilus influenzae tipo b y la Neisseria meningitidis

Extractions: Das Gehirn ist von Hirnhäuten umgeben (siehe Pfeil). In genau diesen Hirnhäuten kann eine Entzündung entstehen. Gehirn und Rückenmark sind außen von einer Schutzhülle aus Bindegewebe umgeben, den so genannten Hirn- bzw. Rückenmarkshäuten (Meningen). Diese können sich durch unterschiedliche Erreger entzünden, man spricht dann von einer Meningitis. Ist auch das Gehirn selbst mitbetroffen, wird dies Meningoenzephalitis genannt (encephalon, gr. = Gehirn). Eine Meningitis ist immer als Notfall zu betrachten, da sie sich innerhalb weniger Stunden massiv ausbreiten und unbehandelt zum Tod führen kann! Bei einem Auftreten der unten genannten Symptome ist daher unmittelbar ein Arzt zu konsultieren. Wie bekommen Sie Meningitis? Die häufigsten Erreger sind Bakterien und Viren, seltener sind auch Pilze oder Parasiten die Ursache. Unter den Bakterien kommen vor allem Meningokokken, Pneumokokken und Haemophilus influenzae in Frage. Es ist nicht geklärt, warum völlig gesunde Menschen plötzlich eine bakterielle Meningitis bekommen. Die Keime werden im allgemeinen durch Tröpfcheninfektion, d.h. etwa durch Niesen oder Husten, übertragen. Gelegentlich kann es aber auch zu einer direkten Fortleitung kommen, so zum Beispiel bei Kopfverletzungen mit Schädelbruch, aber auch bei

Extractions: All Wikimedia projects will be down for approximately 30 minutes. We apologise for the inconvenience. Meningitis is inflammation of the membranes ( meninges ) covering the brain and the spinal cord . Although the most common causes are infection (either bacterial or viral ), chemical agents and even tumor cells may cause meningitis. Encephalitis and brain abscess can complicate infective meningitis. Major bacteria that cause meningitis are Streptococcus pneumoniae Haemophilus influenzae staphylococcus and meningococcus The classical symptoms of meningitis are headache, neck stiffness and photophobia (the trio are called " meningism "). An altered level of consciousness or other neurological deficits may be present depending on the severity of the disease. A lumbar puncture to obtain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is usually indicated to determine the cause and direct appropriate treatment. Meningitis is a medical emergency, being a condition with a high mortality rate if untreated. The cause is most commonly a bacterial infection sensitive to antibiotics . Patients with suspected meningitis should optimally initially have a CT scan to help determine if there is a raised intracranial pressure that might cause a serious or fatal brain herniation during lumbar puncture. If there are no signs of elevated central nervous system pressure demonstrated on the CT scan, a

Bacterial meningitis has an incidence of about 20 to 100 cases per 100,000 live births during the newborn period. Aseptic meningitis is even more common. Although most types of aseptic meningitis do not cause serious sequelae, some types result in significant morbidity and mortality if not properly diagnosed and treated. Physicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for these treatable causes.
