Central Nervous System Infections (Meningitis) and its Diagnosis and Treatment: A Mini Review

Musah Ali

Central nervous system (CNS) infections, including meningitis, encephalitis, and brain abscess, are rare but time-sensitive exigency department(ED) judgments. Cases with CNS infection can present to the ED with a host of non-specific signs and symptoms, including headache, fever, altered internal status, and behavioral changes. In meningitis, the classic trio of fever, neck stiffness, and altered internal status occurs in only nonage of cases. Classic physical examination pushes, similar Kernig’s and Brudzinski’s signs, are fairly asleep although specific for prognosticating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) exocytosis. Cases with parenchymal involvement, as occurs with encephalitis and brain abscess, may also have focal neurologic poverties or seizures. Neuroimaging and CSF fluid analysis can appear benign early in the course of meningitis and encephalitis, and clinicians shouldn't be falsely comforted. Delaying antibiotic and antiviral curatives negatively impacts issues, particularly with bacterial meningitis and herpes simplex contagion encephalitis. As with other rare, life- changing judgments encountered in exigency drug, the opinion and treatment of CNS infections requires alert and a high indicator of dubitation grounded on the history and physical examination which must be verified with applicable imaging and laboratory evaluation.
