• Desquamating Rash

• Headache

  Emergency physicians should consider intrathecal entry and pneumocephalus in patients who present with a headache after an epidural intervention. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Sometimes the headache may begin as a lingering headache, and typical orthostatic features may appear days or weeks later. At times the headache may be preceded by neck pain or interscapular pain for days or weeks. [braintalkcommunities.org]

• Neck Stiffness

  A 41-yr-old man was admitted with acute headache, neck stiffness, and febrile sensation. Cerebrospinal fluid examination showed pleocytosis, an increased protein level and, a decreased glucose concentration. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Another important symptom to take note is neck stiffness. This is also called as nuchal rigidity. This symptom is characterized by muscle spasms in the neck area. The patient will also have a difficulty moving the neck forward. [tandurust.com]

  Headache and neck stiffness gradually improved over the next six days with conservative treatment with methylprednisolone and antibiotics. [synapse.koreamed.org]

  While she was waiting for the transphenoidal excision of the lesion, she developed fever, altered sensorium with neck stiffness. Vision status remained same as before. [surgicalneurologyint.com]

Treatment for Meningitis Tips 1. Acute bacterial meningitis requires prompt treatment with intravenous antibiotics to ensure recovery and reduce the risk of complications. 2. [lfpro.bztronics.com]

A single antibiotic agent was used for the most of the treatment period in 8 patients with bacterial meningitis and in 3 patients with IC meningitis; the remainder received combination treatment. [academic.oup.com]

Treatment and prognosis Although each attack is self limited, given the strong association with HSV-2 therapy and prophylaxis with acyclovir or valacyclovir has been proposed 2. [radiopaedia.org]

Although complete surgical excision improved the prognosis, based on previous studies suggesting recurrence between 4 months and 14 years (Preece et al. 2006 ), this case warranted long-term clinical and radiological follow-up. [springerplus.springeropen.com]

Prognosis Meningitis kills more UK children under the age of 5 than any other infectious disease. [ 2 ] Prognosis depends on the pathogen, the patient's age and condition and the severity of acute illness. [patient.info]

Other treatments will include: Fluids through a vein (IV) Medicines to treat symptoms, such as brain swelling, shock, and seizures Outlook (Prognosis) Early diagnosis and treatment of bacterial meningitis is essential to prevent permanent neurological [mountsinai.org]

In general, prognosis is grave with an aneurysm, better with an arteriovenous malformation, and best when 4-vessel angiography does not detect a lesion, presumably because the bleeding source is small and has sealed itself. [msdmanuals.com]

Etiology The condition by definition is idiopathic. See the discussion on terminology above. [radiopaedia.org]

The etiology of postdural puncture meningitis is very debatable. [mjdrdypu.org]

Journal of Meningitis focuses on causative agents, pathophysiology, etiology, preventive measures, treatment, management of meningitis, etc. [omicsonline.org]
