Bacterial meningitis: Symptoms, causes, and treatment

Meningitis :

is an inflammatory disease that affects the mucous membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, due to a bacterial or viral infection.

Bacterial meningitis:

Prospects for the progression of meningitis (Prognosis):

 There is a good chance of recovery without any side effects, and the chances of recovery were estimated, according to medical research, by 90%, provided that the treatment is at an early stage. The factors that can affect the chances of recovery are mainly patient ill health, delayed treatment initiation, or a more severe strain of germ.

Meningitis :

is a disease that afflicts membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord, the so-called "meninges." Meningitis is a serious health problem that can affect all ages, but it is more serious in children under the age of five because they are more vulnerable. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 20 per cent of people with long-term consequences have long-term consequences, with 10 to 12 per cent dying each year. In America, there are nearly 3,000 cases of meningitis each year. The British Meningitis Research Foundation estimates there are 3,500 cases of bacterial meningitis and septicemia every year in Britain and Ireland.

Meningitis, sepsis and hypoxia raise yellow matter in infants

Inflammation increases the level of yellow matter

Nuclear jaundice is a serious disease that should be avoided as we said not to give the opportunity to rise the blood more than normal and especially indirect, but by early detection and treatment in various ways mentioned above.

The increase in indirect bilirubin in the blood leads to the entry of brain cells and sedimentation, which leads to the disruption of functions and it is difficult to determine the proportion that lead to it exactly, but precautions are mandatory and should avoid the rise of the article. Causes of severe yellowing include meningitis, sepsis, hypoxia and hypothermia. And hypoglycemia and then increase the complications of that rise.

Researchers have not yet determined the cause of this type of inflammation in their attempts to raise it in culture, after taking a sample of body fluids - hence, the name was elicited (but there are other ways to identify the cause of inflammation).

Most likely, the causative agent is viral (in this case the infection is caused by the virus), but in a small section of the cases, another infection is reported as parasites.

The symptoms of a small child's bacterial meningitis are different in adults.

 They often do not appear in the form of high temperature, stiffness of the neck, sensitivity to light, headache and vomiting, as in adults, but in the form of abdominal pain, refusal to eat, increased sensitivity to touch, Screaming and seizures, as well as indifference.

 The child has the ability to respond to any stimuli around him, or he has spots ranging from light red or dark or slightly yellowing his head. Parents should call an emergency doctor or pediatrician as quickly as possible or take him to the hospital for examination. .

 Parents must take these measures as quickly as possible to prevent the child from harming the child, such as motor disturbances or death.

Bacterial meningitis is treated with antibiotics.

Because bacterial meningitis can be a serious disease, it is important that the child stays in hospital for treatment and receives intravenous treatment. This allows doctors to monitor the condition of the child and to monitor any symptoms or signs that may indicate complications of the infection.

The child may need supportive treatment such as taking certain medications to maintain blood pressure, preventing bleeding or fluids to avoid dehydration. Of course, the supportive treatment is related to the child's condition and the severity of the disease.

protection:

Vaccinations:

 Several vaccinations the child receives during his childhood protect against meningitis, especially germs.

Antibiotics:

 Antibiotics to prevent bacterial meningitis are recommended for those who have had contact with a child or person with bacterial meningitis, specifically meningococcal bacteria. Family members, friends, and anyone who has had physical contact with them during the week prior to the symptoms will take antibiotics to prevent bacterial meningitis.

Maintain hygiene and prevent transmission, by washing hands before and after touching the baby, not kissing the child, cover the child's mouth during coughing. Follow these instructions until the child has finished symptoms.

 There are several antibiotics that criticize your child but you should consult your doctor
