Meningitis & Encephalitis
Meningitis and encephalitis are serious infections affecting the brain and surrounding membranes. Meningitis involves inflammation of the protective layers covering the brain and spinal cord, while encephalitis refers to inflammation of the brain tissue itself. These conditions may be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or autoimmune responses.
Symptoms include high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness, confusion, seizures, sensitivity to light, and altered consciousness. Immediate medical attention is essential to prevent complications.
Diagnosis involves neurological examination, imaging, and laboratory analysis of cerebrospinal fluid. Treatment depends on the cause and may include antibiotics, antiviral medications, anti-inflammatory therapy, and supportive care.
