Meningitis - Neurologychannel meningitis (or spinal meningitis) is an infection in the meninges and cerebrospinal fluid. http://www.neurologychannel.com/meningitis/
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).

Extractions: Q. How is bacterial meningitis different from other kinds of meningitis? A. Meningitis is an inflammation of the lining around the brain, caused by an infection. It can be caused by viruses and bacteria of various kinds. Viral meningitis is rarely fatal and usually does not require antibiotics. It is also more easily transmitted. Many different viruses may cause viral meningitis. Bacterial meningitis can be caused by many different organisms. Streptococcus pneumoniae causes pneumococcal meningitis and is the leading cause of bacterial meningitis in the United States. Pneumococcal meningitis has a high fatality rate and occurs sporadically in infants, the elderly, and people with immunological disorders. Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) causes a type of bacterial meningitis that is prevented by the Hib vaccination required for all children over 2 months of age. Widespread vaccinations have made Hib disease rare in children under 5. (In spite of the name, this disease is not related to "flu.")

MIAMI, Florida (AP) A volunteer medic who treated injured demonstrators at a free trade meeting last week died Wednesday of bacterial meningitis, sparking a health investigation to determine whether others were exposed. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday that no other cases had been confirmed. About 40 to 45 people who had close contact with the victim were given antibiotics, said CDC spokesman Llelwyn Grant. "We just don't know at this time how far-reaching this will be," Grant said. Neisseria meningitis, spread through respiratory droplets, can be fatal in up to 20 percent of all untreated cases, but the CDC spokesman said it probably would not be spread in a crowd simply through breathing. The meningitis victim, a 23-year-old New Jersey man, was not identified by authorities, but protest organizers said it was Jordan Feder. Feder treated protesters who had been sprayed with tear gas and pepper spray, his friend Patrick McKale said.

The programme, targeted at under-20 year olds, has been a huge success, with a 90% reduction in cases in that age group. However, young adults between 20 and 24 years of age and all first year college and university students are still at risk and should be vaccinated.

Septicemia - Nervous System Diseases Health Guide Septicemia, as it relates to meningitis Some bacteria that cause meningitis can also cause septicemia, particularly the meningococcal form. http://www.umm.edu/nervous/septecem.htm
Extractions: Some bacteria that cause meningitis can also cause septicemia, particularly the meningococcal form. When meningococcus invades the body, it enters from the throat, gets into the bloodstream, and travels through the blood to the meninges. In some cases, the bacteria multiply uncontrollably in the bloodstream, which results in septicemia before the bacteria can infect the meninges. In other cases, infection in the bloodstream and in the meninges develops at the same time, and these patients get both septicemia and meningitis.

Extractions: Is more common and usually occurs in the late Summer and early Fall. Sometimes, abdominal discomfort, chest pain, or a rash will be present. The central nervous system may be involved with possible alteration of consciousness or paralysis; however, these more serious conditions are infrequent. Most cases of viral meningitis run a short, uneventful course. Since this is a virus (like the common cold), antibiotics are not effective. Likewise, persons who have had contact with viral meningitis patients do not require any treatment.
