Cerebral cerebral infections

Cerebral cerebral infections's disease overview

Cerebral blood infections (also known as meninges, meningitis infections, Neisseria meningitidis) is an acute infectious disease caused by bacteria Neisseria meningitidis.

This is a localized bacteria in the nose and throat area, which causes diseases when invading the respiratory tract into the bloodstream causing infection. Mong> Includes different strains of pathogens such as A, B, C, X, Y and W135. In our country, cases are mainly caused by A and C bacteria. The disease can be transmitted from person to person due to inhalation of the drops of secretion from the respiratory tract of the patient within 1 meter.

The disease is often manifested in individual cases, rarely outbreaks into epidemics. However, the disease is very fast, has a high mortality rate and has severe consequences for patients and society such as deafness, paralysis, and retardation. Acute dark infections and meningococcal meningitis are two severe forms of the disease. In addition, the disease also has other forms such as bacterial arthritis, pericarditis, conjunctivitis, etc., depending on the damaged organ. The disease is severe but can prevent disease with isolation, preventive antibiotics and preventive vaccines depending on the bacterial strain.

Causes of Cerebral cerebral infections's disease

pathogens: meningeal bacteria, scientific name Neisseria meningitidis

Symptoms of Cerebral cerebral infections's disease

Symptoms of diverse diseases, depending on the damaged organ. The two common symptoms of the disease are fever and necrotic bleeding (also known as death)

  • Fever: Sudden onset, high fever 39-40 degrees C
  • Genital bleeding board: usually appears 1-2 days after a fever. The necrotic hemorrhage is from 1-2 mm to several cm, crimson, not protruding from the skin, can be with necrosis in the center of the ban or with water balls. The committee usually appears in the hip and lower limbs or the whole body.

    • Unusual symptoms depending on the disease:

  • Acute infections: Patients with shock, manifested by symptoms such as hypotension, coagulation disorders

    • Meningococcal meningitis: headache, vomiting, consciousness disorders, convulsions.

    Transmission route of Cerebral cerebral infections's diseaseCerebral cerebral infections

    Roads: Respiratory, bacteria transmitted through the secretion from the patient's respiratory tract.

    People at risk for Cerebral cerebral infections's disease

    People with weak body immune systems such as young children, common in the age of 3-6 years old, who often interact with patients such as patients' family members, health workers to care for patients , those who go to the area are sick

    Prevention of Cerebral cerebral infections's disease

    The disease can be prevented from human -to -human transmission by isolating the disease. For those who are about to enter the area with a high rate of disease can use preventive antibiotics as directed by a doctor.

    Commonly used backup antibiotics:

  • ciprofloxacin 500mg oral 1 dose single
  • rifampicin: adults 600mg/day, children 20mg/kg/day, used for 2-3 days

    • Active prophylaxis by vaccinations for those who are at high risk, have weakened immune systems. The vaccine is selected depending on the strain of pathogenic bacteria. Meningo is a vaccine that helps prevent the brain of the A and C meningococcal brain used in Vietnam.  Menveo helps prevent all 4 strains of bacteria: A, C, Y and W135.

    Diagnostic measures for Cerebral cerebral infections's disease

    For diagnosis, it is necessary to combine questions and clinical examination.

  • Examination: Find the typical symptoms of the disease such as fever, necrotic hemorrhage and other signs depending on the disease.
  • Testing to be done: Blood formula see the increase in leukocytes, tests for hemostasis, blood culture to find bacteria. The cerebrospinal fluid may be required if it is suspected of meningitis.

    • Diagnosis is determined when the fever is attached to 1 of the following 3 symptoms:

  • Typical hemorrhage of meningococcal blood infections
  • positive blood implant with Neisseria Meningitidis
  • Did the necrotic hemorrhage to find the presence of Neisseria Meningitidis

    • Cerebral cerebral infections's disease treatments

  • Treatment of specific antibiotics according to the treatment regimen: Antibiotics are used by intravenous tract, in an average period of 5 to 7 days, the dosage depends on the disease.
  • Severe cases, patients with hypotension, need to be quickly treated with positive resuscitation measures such as infusion, blood pressure drugs under shock treatment regimen, Adjusting blood clotting disorders, treating the accompanying symptoms of the disease such as fever, cutting seizures (if any)
  • Caring for necrotic wounds, filter cuts if indicated.
