MENINGITIS BACTERIANA ¿Qué es la meningitis? La meningitis es una inflamación de las membranas que recubren el cerebro y la médula espinal -conocidas como las meninges. Puede ser causada por virus, parásitos, hongos y bacterias. La meningitis viral (aséptica) es común y la mayoría de la gente logra recuperarse por completo. El tratamiento médico de la meningitis viral consiste en tratamiento de apoyo y generalmente no se indica el uso de antibióticos. Las meningitis parasitaria o las causadas por hongos son poco frecuentes. La meningitis bacteriana es muy grave y puede requerir de complicados tratamientos médicos, quirúrgicos, farmacéuticos y de equipos para mantener las funciones vitales. Hay dos tipos comunes de bacterias que causan la meningitis: Strep pneumoniae causa la meningitis por neumococos; hay más de 80 subtipos que causan enfermedades. Neisseria meningitidis —causa la meningitis por meningococo; hay 5 subtipos que causan enfermedades graves—A, B, C, Y, W-135 ¿Cuáles son los síntomas?

Einleitung Erkrankung Erreger Übertragung ... Glossar Meningitis - die unterschätzte Gefahr! Bei der Meningitis, im Deutschen Gehirnhautentzündung genannt, handelt es sich um eine äußerst gefährliche Erkrankung, die zumeist durch eine Infektion verursacht wird. Sie ist charakterisiert durch eine Entzündung der weichen Häute des Gehirns und des Rückenmarks. In den westlichen Industrienationen sind bestimmte Bakterien, die so genannten Meningokokken, die häufigsten Auslöser dieser lebensbedrohlichen Infektionskrankheit. In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland werden jedes Jahr zwischen 700 und 800 Fälle von Meningokokken-Erkrankungen registriert, wobei besonders Kinder und Jugendliche vor dem zwanzigsten Lebensjahr betroffen sind. Die Meningitis stellt immer einen Notfall dar, der eine sofortige Behandlung erfordert. Wenige Stunden können über das Schicksal des Kranken entscheiden! Leider ist die Krankheit insbesondere bei sehr kleinen Kindern im Anfangsstadium schwer feststellbar, weil die ersten Anzeichen relativ unspezifisch sind. Noch immer kommt deshalb für einige Betroffene jede Hilfe zu spät. Nur durch eine rechtzeitig eingeleitete intensive Behandlung kann bei der Mehrheit der Patienten eine vollständige Genesung erreicht werden, in einigen Fällen können aber selbst dann tödliche Verläufe oder bleibende Folgeschäden wie Narben, Lähmungen, Taubheit oder Amputationen nicht vermieden werden. Einzig die vorbeugende Impfung, die mittlerweile gegen alle wichtigen Erreger verfügbar ist, bietet sicheren Schutz vor dieser schwerwiegenden Infektionskrankheit und ihren möglicherweise dramatischen Folgen.

Credits Meningitis Topic Overview What is meningitis? Meningitis is an infection of the tissues (meninges) and sometimes the fluid (cerebral spinal fluid, or CSF) that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis results in swelling of the brain tissue and in some cases the spinal tissue ( spinal meningitis ). When brain tissue swells, less blood and oxygen reach brain cells. The infection occurs most often in infants, young adults between the ages of 15 and 24, older adults, and people who have a long-standing health condition, such as a weakened immune system Meningitis can range from mild to life-threatening. The severity usually depends on the organism causing the infection and a person's age and overall health.

The panel decided it's not cost-effective to require the $60 shot for meningitis, still considered a rare disease. Also, the vaccine doesn't always work.
