42. Meningococcal Meningitis FAQ
What is meningococcal meningitis? Meningococcal disease is a rare but potentiallyfatal bacterial infection. What causes meningococcal meningitis?
http://www.acha.org/projects_programs/faq.cfm
What is meningococcal meningitis? Meningococcal disease is a rare but potentially fatal bacterial infection. The disease is expressed as either meningococcal meningitis, an inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord or meningococcemia, the presence of bacteria in the blood. What causes meningococcal meningitis? Meningococcal disease is caused by the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, a leading cause of meningitis and septicemia (or blood poisoning) in the United States. Meningitis is one of the most common manifestations of the disease, although it has been known to cause septic arthritis, pneumonia, brain inflammation and other syndromes. How many people die from meningococcal meningitis each year? Meningococcal disease strikes about 3,000 Americans each year and is responsible for approximately 300 deaths annually. It is estimated that 100 to 125 cases of meningococcal disease occur annually on college campuses and five to 15 students die as a result. How is meningococcal meningitis spread?

43. Meningokokken Meningitis

http://www.reisemed.at/meningokokken.html
Meningokokken- Meningitis
(Meningitis epidemica, eitrige Gehirhautentzündung)
Erreger:
Meningokokken, d.h. gramneg. Bakterien (Neisseria meningitidis)
Infektionsquelle:
  • gesunde Bakterienträger (Keime im Nasen-Rachenraum) Erkrankte
Übertragung:
Tröpfcheninfektion (d.h. Husten und Niesen)
Inkubationszeit:
2 bis 10 Tage
Krankheitsbild Die Erkrankung beginnt mit uncharakteristischen Allgemeinbeschwerden, dann treten zunehmende, schwer behandelbare Kopfschmerzen, Übelkeit, Erbrechen, hohes Fieber, Nackensteife und Bewusstseinsstörungen bis zur Bewusstlosigkeit auf. Zusätzlich besteht bei schweren Verläufen meist auch ein Hautausschlag. Der Erkrankungsbeginn kann dramatisch sein und innerhalb weniger Stunden zur Bewusstlosigkeit führen. In schwersten Fällen der Meningokokken-Erkrankung kann es innerhalb weniger Stunden zum Tod durch Herz-Kreislaufversagen bei massivsten Blutgerinnungsstörungen kommen (Waterhouse-Friderichsen-Syndrom). Diagnose Die Diagnose wird durch die Lumbalpunktion (Kreuzstich) gestellt. Einerseits findet man die massiv entzündlich veränderte Rückenmarksflüssigkeit, andererseits kann man direkt durch entsprechende Färbemaßnahmen die Erreger nachweisen. Außerdem kann der Erreger auch in der Kultur nachgewiesen werden. Behandlung Der wichtigste Faktor für den Ausgang der Erkrankung ist der rasche Einsatz einer Antibiotikatherapie (Penicilline, Cephalosporine). Zusätzlich sind meist auch intensiv-medizinische Maßnahmen erforderlich. Der Ausgang der Erkrankung ist im wesentlichen vom raschen Einsatz einer adäquaten Therapie abhängig. Tödliche

cryptococcal meningitis. The most common illness caused by the cryptococcus fungusis cryptococcal meningitis. meningitis means swelling of the meninges.
http://www.aegis.com/factshts/network/simple/menin.html
a Simple Facts Sheet from the AIDS Treatment Data Network cryptococcal meningitis 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. 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. The doctor checks the spinal fluid using a procedure called a spinal tap, and measures what's known as the cryptococcal titer to see if the infection is under control.

Weitere Informationen zur Meningokokken-Meningitis
" Meningitis " heißt, daß die Hirnhäute entzündet sind. Es gibt eine große Zahl von Krankheitserregern oder anderen Ursachen, die zu einer entzündlichen Reizung der Hirnhäute führen können. Dazu zählen eine große Zahl von Viren und auch viele Bakterien. Reise- und tropenmedizinisch wichtig ist die sogen. Meningokokken-Meningitis, die durch Bakterien ausgelöst wird. Gegen diese Formen kann mit guten Impfstoffen Schutz erreicht werden. Prinzipiell sind die durch Bakterien verursachten Meningitisformen einer antibiotischen Therapie zugänglich. In jedem Fall braucht jede Meningitis bzw. meningitische Reizung intensive ärztliche Betreuung. Im Folgenden wird speziell die Meningokokken-Meningitis abgehandelt.
Die Infektion: Bei der Meningokokken-Meningitis handelt es sich um eine akute durch Tröpfchen übertragene Infektionserkrankung, die besonders die Hirnhäute befällt. Als Erreger sind die sogen. Meningokokken von Typ A, B, C, Y und W bekannt. Diese, wie auch die meisten anderen Meningitis-Erreger, gehen von Mensch zu Menschen über durch sogen. Tröpfcheninfektion, d.h., schon bei relativ distanzierten Kontakten (wie z.B. Husten im dichten Gedränge oder im Gespräch). Allerdings trägt ein großer Prozentsatz der Menschen auf der Welt (auch in Europa) Meningitis-Erreger im Mundbereich, ohne daß es zu Erkrankung oder Ansteckung kommt.
