Book Description
Meningitis is one of the most devastating central nervous infections in infants, children, and adults. Time is of the essence when dealing with these patients; early treatment improves not only chances for survival but the neurological outcome as well. Meningitis, a new volume in the 100 Maxims in Neurology series, offers practitioners 100 integral principles to help them in the diagnosis, treatment, and pathophysiology of the disease. This new book, unique in its concise yet complete approach, covers all forms of meningitis in two main sections. The first provides a concise, up-to-date review of the diagnosis and management of bacterial meningitis and the possible neurological complications which accompany this condition. The second part is dedicated to infectious and non-infectious aseptic meningitis, fungal, tuberculous, syphilitic, and carcinomatous meningitis. The interpretation of cerebrospinal fluid abnormalities is emphasized throughout for diagnosis and as an aid in determining the response to therapy. The 100 maxims contained in this practical review will be invaluable to neurologists, neurosurgeons, pediatricians, and infectious disease specialists. ... Read more

Book Description
Meningitis is an uncommon but serious illness at any age, and during the first few weeks of life it poses a particular hazard with high mortality and a considerable risk to survivors of permanent damage to the developing brain. This book comprehensively reviews bacterial, fungal and viral forms of the illness. Epidemiology and comparisons of maternally and environmentally derived infections are included, along with a view of the developing brain and host defence mechanisms. A review of experimental bacterial meningitis is provided, together with a discussion of its relevance for clinical and laboratory diagnosis, and for antimicrobial and supportive management. Prospects for the future in terms of early diagnosis, management and prevention are also addressed. In its collation of material from such a wide range of literature sources, this is a vital reference for all clinicians with an interest in the problems of meningitis in early life. ... Read more
