    Extractions: 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. ¿Cuáles son los síntomas?

    Extractions: Einleitung Erkrankung Erreger Übertragung ... Glossar 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.

Es decir que el contacto debe de ser cercano para que se pueda trasmitir. Salvo en casos de problemas de falta de defensas por enfermedades previas (linfomas, inmunodeficiencias, diabetes, etc...) la susceptibilidad es escasa, ya que la bacteria causante suele estar en la garganta del 10% de los individuos y no se desarrolla la enfermedad. La enfermedad se desarrolla ante un contacto intenso con las bacterias de las secreciones de un individuo afectado de meningitis.

    Extractions: Topic Overview 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.

    Extractions: From CNN Medical Correspondent Rhonda Rowland ATLANTA (CNN) College students should be told about the dangers of bacterial meningitis and have easy access to a vaccine for the disease, a government advisory panel said Wednesday. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization stopped short of recommending the vaccine be required. 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.

    Extractions: Communicable Disease (nonbacterial meningitis) What is viral meningitis? Viral meningitis is an infection of the meninges (a thin lining covering the brain and spinal cord) by any one of a number of different viruses. It is a fairly common disease; 500-700 cases are reported each year in New York State. Almost all of the cases occur as single, isolated events. Outbreaks are rare. Who gets viral meningitis? Anyone can get viral meningitis but it occurs most often in children. Which viruses cause this form of meningitis? Approximately half of the cases in the United States are due to common entero (intestinal) viruses. Occasionally, children will have viral meningitis associated with mumps or herpes virus infection. Mosquito-borne viruses also account for a few cases each year. In many cases, the specific virus cannot be identified. How are the viruses that cause viral meningitis spread? Because a number of different viruses are capable of causing viral meningitis, the manner in which the virus is spread depends upon the type of virus involved. Some are spread by person-to-person contact; others can be spread by insects. What are the symptoms?
