說明 |
|
Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges, the thin tissue that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. There are several types of meningitis. The most common is viral meningitis, in which a virus enters the body through the nose or mouth and travels to the brain. The other is bacterial meningitis. It can be deadly, it is rare though. It usually starts with a cold-like infection. It can block blood vessels in the brain and lead to stroke and brain damage. It can also harm other organs. |
腦/脊膜炎即腦脊膜的炎癥，包裹大腦或脊髓的薄膜的發(fā)炎。腦/脊膜炎分幾種，最常見有病毒性腦/脊膜炎，它是病毒經(jīng)由口、鼻侵入人體，進入大腦所引起的。另一種是細菌性腦/脊膜炎。細菌性腦/脊炎雖然較為罕見，但它可以致命。它的初始癥狀為一感冒樣感染。它可以阻斷大腦血管，導致中風和大腦損傷。它也可以傷害其他器官。 | |
|
Pathophysiology |
|
|
|
A variety of organisms can produce an inflammation of the meninges, in neonates, the primary organisms responsible are gram-negative enteric bacilli, gram-negative rods, and group B streptococci. In children 3 months to 5 years of age, the primary organism responsible for meningitis is Haemophilus influenzae type B. Meningitis in older children is usually the result of a Neisseria meningitidis infection or a staphylococcal infection. |
多種細菌可以引起腦/脊膜炎癥。引起在新生兒腦/脊炎的有革蘭氏陰性腸桿菌、革蘭氏陰性桿菌、B型鏈球菌。引起3個月至5歲小孩感染的細菌以B型流感嗜血桿菌為主。年齡再大一點的兒童通常是由腦/脊膜炎萘瑟氏菌感染或葡萄球菌感染引起。 | |
|
Aseptic meningitis is usually caused by a virus and affects young adults more often than children. Older children usually manifest a variety of nonspecific prodromal signs and flulike symptoms that last for 1 to 2 weeks. Although fatigue and weakness may last for a number of weeks, sequelae are uncommon. |
無菌性腦/脊膜炎通常由病毒引起，幼兒患病率高于兒童。大小孩通常會出現(xiàn)一些非特異性前驅(qū)癥狀或感冒樣癥狀，可持續(xù)1－2周。盡管疲乏無力可持續(xù)幾周，但很少產(chǎn)生嚴重后果。 | |
|
Otitis media, sinusitis, or respiratory tract infections may be the initial stage of infection. In addition, a predisposition resulting from an immune deficiency increases the likelihood of occurrence of this disorder. Once the meninges are infected, the organisms are spread through the CSF to the brain and adjacent tissues. Prognosis varies, depending on a variety of factors. Neonatal meningitis has a high mortality rate and an increased incidence of neurologic sequelae. Bacterial meningitis results in a large number of patients' having behavioral changes, motor dysfunction, and cognitive changes such as perceptual deficits. |
中耳炎、鼻竇炎或呼吸道感染為感染初期癥狀。此外，免疫不足導致缺陷會增加發(fā)生這種疾病的機率。一旦腦/脊膜受到感染，細菌就會通過中樞神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)傳播到大腦及相鄰組織。病情發(fā)展不定，取決于多種因素。新生兒腦/脊膜炎死亡率很高，造成神經(jīng)損傷的后果也很常見。細菌性腦/脊膜炎造成大量患者行為變化、運動障礙及認知能力問題，如知覺缺陷。 | |
|
Clinical Manifestations |
|
臨床表現(xiàn) |
|
The symptoms of meningitis vary and depend both on the age of the child and on which bacterium or virus is causing the infection. The symptoms of viral meningitis are usually milder than those of bacterial meningitis. However, symptoms of bacterial and viral cases can be similar, particularly in the early stages of the disease. |
腦/脊膜炎癥狀有很多種，它與兒童年齡有關(guān)，也與致病的細菌或病毒有關(guān)。病毒性腦/脊膜炎癥狀通常比細菌性腦/脊膜炎要輕。不過，兩者很相似，尤其是在疾病之初。 | |
|
Classic symptoms of meningitis include: high fever, severe headache, vomiting or nausea with headache, confusion or difficulty concentrating, seizures, sleepiness or difficulty waking up, stiff neck, sensitivity to light, lack of interest in drinking and eating, skin rash in some cases, although rashes caused by bacterial meningitis look different from those caused by viral meningitis.醫(yī)學.全在.線www.med126.com |
腦/脊膜炎的典型癥狀包括發(fā)燒、劇烈頭痛、嘔吐或惡心伴頭痛、神志不清或難以集中注意力、癲癇發(fā)作、嗑睡或難以行走、頸強直、畏光、食欲不振及有時皮疹，但病毒性和細菌性腦/脊膜炎所引起的皮疹有所不同。 | |

Therapeutic Management |
|
治療 |
|
Meningitis is considered a medical emergency requiring early recognition and treatment to prevent neurologic damage. The child is placed in respiratory isolation for at least 24 hours after the initiation of intravenous (IV) antibiotics sensitive to the causative organism. Intravenous hydration therapy is instituted to correct electrolyte imbalances, in addition to providing hydration. This fluid administration requires frequent assessment of the infused volume to prevent fluid overload complications such as cerebral edema. Treatment is then directed toward the identification and management of complications of the disease process. |
腦/脊膜炎屬急診，需要早識別早治療，以防神經(jīng)受損。在靜脈注射致病菌敏感抗生素后，小孩至少要呼吸隔離24小時。除了補充液體外，靜脈補液也可以糾正電解質(zhì)紊亂。但在靜脈補液時，應經(jīng)常評估輸注量，防止液體超負荷引起并發(fā)癥，如腦水腫。在后續(xù)治療中，應著重識別和處理疾病過程中出現(xiàn)的并發(fā)癥。 | |
