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.

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.

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.

     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

The findings were reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at the annual meeting of the American College Health Association (ACHA). Bacterial meningitis inflames the tissue and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal canal and causes flu-like symptoms headache, stiff neck and fever.

     Extractions: Meningitis is inflammation of the sheaths and 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 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 have a lumbar puncture procedure after a CT scan (which will help rule out a possible raised intracranial pressure that may cause a serious or fatal brain herniation during lumbar puncture) and broad spectrum antibiotics should be urgently started before the culture studies are completed. If lumbar puncture can not be performed because of raised intracranial pressure (likely due to edema or concomitant brain abscess), a broad spectrum intravenous antibiotic should be started anyway which can later be replaced with more specific antibiotics depending on the results of blood and cerebrospinal fluid culture and sensitivity studies.

Are there different types of meningitis? Meningitis produces a characteristic rash Yes. Meningitis is usually caused by either bacteria or a virus. A small number of cases can be caused by fungal infection. Viral meningitis is more common than bacterial but is rarely life-threatening. It is usually caught through poor hygiene, coughing and sneezing. It cannot be treated with antibiotics but most people who have it make a full recovery. What about bacterial forms of the disease? Signs of meningitis in babies: Tense or bulging soft spot on front of the head Vomiting/refusing to feed Irritable Breathing rapid or laboured Extreme shivering Purple bruising or pin prick marks Cold hands or feet Blotchy or blue skin Floppy, or stiff, jerky body

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.
