      Aseptic meningitis
      Definition:
      Aseptic meningitis is an illness characterized by headache, fever, and inflammation of the lining of the brain (meninges). Although it looks like bacterial meningitis, bacteria do not grow in cultures of the cerebrospinal fluid (fluid around the brain and spinal cord).
      Alternative Names:
      Sterile meningitis
      Causes, incidence, and risk factors:
      With aseptic meningitis a person has signs and symptoms of meningitis, but bacteria do not grow in culture. Many different things can cause aseptic meningitis including viruses, fungi, tuberculosis, some medications, and infections near the brain or spinal cord, such as epidural abscesses. Coxsackie virus and echovirus, two members of a family of viruses called enteroviruses, account for about half the cases of aseptic meningitis. Other enteroviruses, herpes viruses, and

  • E-mail Share As a Medford family grieved the loss of their energetic son, public health officials said Friday the boy's sudden death from meningitis is no cause for public panic and has no connection to two other recent meningitis-related deaths in the area.
    Ernesto Valasquez, an 8-year-old student at Brookhaven Elementary School, died Thursday of bacterial meningitis at Brookhaven Memorial Hospital.
    Suffolk County Health Commissioner Dr. Humayun Chaudhry called it an isolated case. "We do not feel it's a public health threat," he said.
    The death was the third from meningitis in the area within two weeks. Michael Gruber, a Massapequa High School senior, died Jan. 24. LeeAnne Burke, 27, a Queens high school guidance counselor, died the following day.

What is viral meningitis?
Viral meningitis is an infection of the meninges (a thin lining covering the brain and spinal cord) by any one of a number of different viruses. It is a fairly common disease; 500-700 cases are reported each year in New York State. Almost all of the cases occur as single, isolated events. Outbreaks are rare.

Meningitis
Definition
Meningitis is a bacterial or non-bacterial infection that causes inflammation of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord.
Causes
The most common causes of meningitis are viral infections that usually get better without treatment. However, bacterial meningitis infections are extremely serious, and may result in death or brain damage even if treated. Meningitis is also caused by:
  • Chemical irritation Drug allergies Fungi Tumors
Types include: Acute bacterial meningitis is a true medical emergency, and requires immediate treatment in a hospital. Viral meningitis is milder and occurs more often than bacterial meningitis. It usually develops in the late summer and early fall, and often affects children and adults under age 30. Most infections occur in children under the age of 5. Most viral meningitis is associated with enteroviruses, which are viruses that commonly cause intestinal illness.

Meningitis
By Kate Moss, Family Specialist, TSBVI, Texas Deafblind Outreach The 2001 Texas Deafblind Census data indicates that meningitis is one of the leading causes of deafblindness in our state. Recently in Texas there has been several scares related to outbreaks of meningitis. What is this disease and what are some of the concerns associated with it? First of all, meningitis is not the same condition as encephalitis, although they both occur in the brain. Meningitis is the inflammation of the tissue lining of the brain and spinal cord, the meninges. Encephalitis is the inflammation of the brain itself. There are two broad categories of meningitis, viral and bacterial. Bacterial meningitis is more uncommon, but it can be extremely serious. Often times it is fatal, especially if not treated immediately. Those who survive this type of meningitis often have a severe disability as a result. Brain injury and deafness are two common results of this type of meningitis. Babies in the USA are typically vaccinated for one type of bacteria that causes meningitis, the haempohilus influenzae type b (Hib) strain. Because of this vaccination program, this type of meningitis has practically disappeared in this country. The other two types of meningitis are meningococcal and pneumococcal. Both of these bacteria are very common. In fact, at any one time, around 10 to 25% of the population are carrying this bacteria, which lives on the back of the throat and nose. Usually these bacteria do not cause any real problems.

Recurrent Bacterial Meningitis in Children and its Implircations for the Otolaryngologist
Larry B. Fishman, MD
October 15, 1992 Bacterial meningitis is a serious infection affecting mostly the pediatric age group. Ninety percent of cases of meningitis occur in patients under age five. The most common organisms are Hemophilus influenza Type B, Streptococcus pneumoniae , and Neisseria meningitidis . Mortality in modern series is quoted as between 1% and 5%. However, up to 50% of survivors may display some long-term neurological sequelae. Anatomical abnormalities are those in which an abnormal connection exists between the CNS and either a mucosal surface or the skin. Congenital connections between the CNS and nose or paranasal sinuses are usually of the midline type, such as encephaloceles. Acquired defects in this area are either traumatic, i.e., anterior skull base fractures; or iatrogenic, such as following endoscopic sinus surgery. Congenital CSF fistulas to the ear exist and can be divided into translabyrinthine or perilabyrinthine types. Translabyrinthine types include an abnormal cochlea, and are usually accompanied by sensorineural hearing loss with or without vestibular symptoms. Perilabyrinthine types occur in temporal bones with normal inner ears. Of the translabyrinthine type, the Mondini malformation is most commonly associated with CSF leak and recurrent meningitis. Traumatic CSF fistulas to the temporal bone can occur following surgery or blunt head trauma.

    Introduction Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes (meninges) and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding your brain and spinal cord, usually due to the spread of an infection. In the past, most meningitis cases occurred in children younger than 5 years. But as a result of the protection offered by current childhood vaccines, most meningitis cases now occur in young people between the ages of 15 and 24. Older adults also tend to have a higher incidence of meningitis than do young children. The cause of most cases of meningitis is a viral infection, but bacterial and fungal infections also can lead to meningitis. The severity of the inflammation and the best treatment depend on the cause of the infection. Bacterial meningitis is generally much more serious than viral meningitis, and timely treatment is necessary.

Meningitis and Encephalitis
Meningitis is one of the most serious infections you can have. It is also one of the scariest understandably, since untreated some forms of meningitis can cause death or lasting impairment. The meninges are membranes that enclose the brain and spinal cord. There are actually three layers of membrane: the "dura", which is a tough outer layer; the "arachnoid", which is a lacy, web-like middle layer; and the "pia", which is a delicate, fibrous inner layer containing many of the blood vessels that feed the brain and cord. Meningitis , strictly speaking, is an inflammation of the meninges. (The suffix "-itis" stands for "inflammation".) Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain tissue itself: "encephal-" refers to the brain tissue. There are many causes for inflammation of tissue, and the meninges are no exception. However, the most common cause of meningeal inflammation is irritation caused by infection with bacteria or viruses. These organisms usually enter the meninges through the bloodstream from other parts of the body. Many meningitis-causing bacteria are carried in the nose and throat, often without the carrier having symptoms. Viral meningeal infections are usually (but not always) less severe than bacterial infections. This is quite fortunate, since there are no antibiotic treatments available for most viruses and we must therefore let viral meningitis run its course by itself. Bacterial meningitis, on the other hand, must be treated with antibiotics in most cases to avoid severe consequences. Unfortunately the only way to confirm that meningitis is not bacterial is to culture the spinal fluid (actually the cerebrospinal fluid, since it bathes both the spinal cord and the brain) and see if there are bacteria in it. This can take 2-5

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. Treatment and Prevention: 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. Fliuconazole is sometimes used for milder cases. The doctor checks the spinal fluid using a procedure called a lumbar puncture (spinal tap), and measures what's called "the cryptococcal titer" to see if the infection is under control.

What Is Meningitis?
Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges, the lining that protects the brain and spinal cord. It is almost always caused by an infection, usually by a bacteria (bacterial meningitis) or a virus (viral meningitis). In rare cases it can be triggered by a fungus or parasite. Meningitis occurs most commonly in young children under 5, those aged 17-25 (who often live in close quarters like dormitories and barracks), and people over age 55. People with compromised immune systems, such as people with HIV or AIDS, are also at increased risk.
What Are The Meninges?
The meninges are composed of three layers of membranes enclosing the brain and spinal cord.
  • Pia mater is the innermost layer. It is akin to a tissue paper that closely adheres to the brain and spinal cord, dipping into the various folds and crevices. Arachnoid mater is the middle layer. It is a filmy membrane that is joined to the pia mater by fine threads resembling a cobweb.
