Meningokokken- Meningitis (Meningitis epidemica, eitrige Gehirhautentzündung) Erreger: Meningokokken, d.h. gramneg. Bakterien (Neisseria meningitidis) Infektionsquelle: gesunde Bakterienträger (Keime im Nasen-Rachenraum) Erkrankte Übertragung: Tröpfcheninfektion (d.h. Husten und Niesen) Inkubationszeit: 2 bis 10 Tage Krankheitsbild Die Erkrankung beginnt mit uncharakteristischen Allgemeinbeschwerden, dann treten zunehmende, schwer behandelbare Kopfschmerzen, Übelkeit, Erbrechen, hohes Fieber, Nackensteife und Bewusstseinsstörungen bis zur Bewusstlosigkeit auf. Zusätzlich besteht bei schweren Verläufen meist auch ein Hautausschlag. Der Erkrankungsbeginn kann dramatisch sein und innerhalb weniger Stunden zur Bewusstlosigkeit führen. In schwersten Fällen der Meningokokken-Erkrankung kann es innerhalb weniger Stunden zum Tod durch Herz-Kreislaufversagen bei massivsten Blutgerinnungsstörungen kommen (Waterhouse-Friderichsen-Syndrom). Diagnose Die Diagnose wird durch die Lumbalpunktion (Kreuzstich) gestellt. Einerseits findet man die massiv entzündlich veränderte Rückenmarksflüssigkeit, andererseits kann man direkt durch entsprechende Färbemaßnahmen die Erreger nachweisen. Außerdem kann der Erreger auch in der Kultur nachgewiesen werden. Behandlung Der wichtigste Faktor für den Ausgang der Erkrankung ist der rasche Einsatz einer Antibiotikatherapie (Penicilline, Cephalosporine). Zusätzlich sind meist auch intensiv-medizinische Maßnahmen erforderlich. Der Ausgang der Erkrankung ist im wesentlichen vom raschen Einsatz einer adäquaten Therapie abhängig. Tödliche

a Simple Facts Sheet from the AIDS Treatment Data Network cryptococcal meningitis Cryptococcal meningitis is a brain infection caused by a fungus called cryptococcus neoformans, which is found mainly in dirt and bird droppings. Many people have been exposed to the cryptococcus fungus at some time during their lives, but the immune system usually stops the fungus from causing illness. When the immune system is weakened by HIV, the fungus can cause illness. The most common illness caused by the cryptococcus fungus is cryptococcal meningitis. Meningitis means swelling of the meninges. The meninges are membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. Cryptococcal meningitis is a serious infection. The symptoms can be similar to other conditions, but it is important to be aware of the possibility of cryptococcal meningitis. Watch for fever, vomiting, headache, nausea, fatigue, loss of appetite, and a general feeling of not being well. Sometimes symptoms include a stiff neck and seizures. You may experience all or just a few of these symptoms. The standard treatment for cryptococcal meningitis is amphotericin B , which must be given by intravenous injection. This is usually done in hospital until the infection is brought under control - this part of the treatment is called induction treatment and usually takes less than two weeks. The doctor checks the spinal fluid using a procedure called a spinal tap, and measures what's known as the cryptococcal titer to see if the infection is under control.

KidsHealth Parents Infections Signs and Symptoms: The signs and symptoms of meningitis are variable and, to a great extent, depend on the age of the child with the infection and which bacteria or virus is causing it. The first signs may be those common to a number of illnesses, such as fever, lethargy, vomiting, and irritability. Older children may complain of a headache. A stiff neck may be found on examination by a doctor. Seizures occur in about a third of patients with bacterial meningitis and sometimes are the only symptoms. As the disease develops, other symptoms set in: increased irritability with a high-pitched cry (in infants) and difficulty breathing. Newborns with meningitis may lack the classical signs described above and simply be extremely irritable or lethargic (have decreased consciousness). Under usual circumstances, when an infant isn't feeling well, she is comforted when her mother picks her up. With meningitis, we might see something called "paradoxical irritability," when picking up and rocking a child may make her more distressed. This can be a sign of an irritated meninges (the covering of the central nervous system). Other signs that can be seen in an infant with meningitis include jaundice (a yellowish tint to the skin) and a stiffness of the body and of the neck ("neck rigidity"). There may be bulging fontanelles (the "soft spot" at the top/front of the baby's skull where the bones of the skull join and are still open at that age).

60. Meningitis You may be wondering what the deal is with meningitis because you'veheard frightening stuff about menigitis outbreaks in the news. http://kidshealth.org/teen/infections/bacterial_viral/meningitis.html

KidsHealth Teens Infections Meningitis, an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord (the meninges ), is often confused with encephalitis , although it's actually quite different. Encephalitis refers to inflammation of the brain itself, whereas meningitis affects the lining of the brain and spinal cord. You may be wondering what the deal is with meningitis because you've heard frightening stuff about menigitis outbreaks in the news. Although meningitis is a serious infection, learning as much about it as possible can help to put your mind at ease. What Is Meningitis and What Are the Signs and Symptoms? Inflammation of the brain lining and the cerebrospinal fluid (fluid that circulates in the spaces in and around the brain and spinal cord) is referred to as meningitis. It may be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or other organisms. Meningitis frequently occurs when an infection elsewhere in the body spreads through the blood and into the cerebrospinal fluid. Although most cases of meningitis occur in the first 5 years of life, you can get it at any age.
