  6. MENINGITIS

  7. Meningitis • Most causes are due to bacterial or viral infections. The infection may be primary or secondary Primary infections start in the meninges

  8. Secondary meningitis is an infection spreading from another part of the body.

  9. Viral meningitis is the most common form of meningitis with 3,0000 cases reported every year. Unlike bacterial meningitis viral meningitis is self limiting and mild to moderate in severity Viral meningitis often caused by an enterovirus or herpes virus but can be caused by arboviruses

  10. Bacterial meningitis is a medical emergency. Causes can arise suddenly, with symptoms worsening within hours. Rapid identification and treatment is crucial. Untreated bacterial meningitis is usually fatal.

  11. Meningitis can be caused by many species of bacteria but the four most common are Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcal meningitis) Usually affects infants under 2 years and those with a compromised immune system. A vaccination program exists

  12. Meningococcal meningitis Neisseria meningitids. Seen in college students, infants, children and foreign travellers. It is the leading cause of meningitis and is highly contagious. Meningitis c vaccine has prevented many cases

  13. Haemophilus influenza type b Once the most common cause of bacterial meningitis. Has decreased since the introduction of the meningitis vaccine for children

  14. Group B streptococcus, Escheriaichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes are the most common causes of meningitis in the neonate (babies less than six weeks old) and may be passed from mother to baby

  15. Specimen No : MG024522F (Microbiology) <PgUp/PgDn> for more samples ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gram-negative rods seen. Bacterial Culture Released for ward e-enquiry +++ Escherichia coli. Intermediate : ^Cephalothin. Resistant : ^Amoxicillin,^Cotrimoxazole.

Not Recommended : ^Nitrofurantoin,^Trimethoprim. Further report to follow.

  16. MOST CASES OF E. COLI MENINGITIS OCCUR IN NEWBORN BABIES OR BABIES UNDER 3 MONTHS OF AGE. IN THE UK AND IRELAND ADULTS AND OLDER CHILDREN ALMOST NEVER GET E COLI MENINGITIS UNLESS THEY HAVE HEALTH PROBLEMS THAT SUPPRESS THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM, OR HAVE HAD HEAD INJURIES OR SURGERY TO THE HEAD SO THAT BACTERIA CAN ENTER VIA THE HEAD WOUND. INFECTION IN BABIES MAY OCCUR DURING DELIVERY, OR FROM BACTERIA ACQUIRED IN HOSPITAL, OR IN THE HOME. PREMATURE AND LOW-BIRTH-WEIGHT BABIES ARE AT HIGHER RISK OF CONTRACTING MENINGITIS. INFECTION BY E. COLI AND SIMILAR BACTERIA TEND TO CAUSE SEPTICAEMIA (BLOOD-POISONING) WHEN IT HAPPENS AT BIRTH OR IN THE FIRST TWO DAYS AFTER BIRTH. WHEN IT OCCURS IN BABIES MORE THAN 48 HOURS OLD IT IS MORE LIKELY TO CAUSE MENINGITIS
