meningitisAn inflammation of the leptomeninges .
bacterial meningitis is a common complication of septicemia in children and must be treated as an emergency.
Caused by : bacteria, viruses , or rarely fungi . viral infection of the CNS are much more common
than bacterial infection

meningitis
Bacterial meningitis is one of the most potentially serious infection ,in infants and older children .
Associated with a high rate of acute complications and risk of long-term morbidity.
The etiology of meningitis in the neonate and the treatment are generally distinct from in older children

meningitisA limited number of bacteria are associated
with meningitis in normal hosts .
the principle of supportive management and the initial choice of antibiotics can be generalized.

Etiology of meningitis
2 month – 12yr: S .pneumonia, N . Meningitidis ,H .influenza
type b.
H .influenza type b is the most common cause of meningitis in children < 4-yr
![Page 6: Bacterial meningitis. meningitis An inflammation of the leptomeninges. bacterial meningitis is a common complication of septicemia in children and must.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c27ced/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Etiology and epidemiology of meningitis
2 month : maternal flora and environment .
Group B and D. streptococci
gram – negative enteric bacilli .
and listeria monocytogenes.
may be due H.Influenza type b and nonecapsulate and other pathogens
![Page 7: Bacterial meningitis. meningitis An inflammation of the leptomeninges. bacterial meningitis is a common complication of septicemia in children and must.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c27ced/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Etiology and epidemiology of meningitis
Lack of immunity ( IgM or igG anti capsular antibody ) to specific pathogens with young age.
recent colonization with pathogenic bacteria .
Close contact with invasive disease ( respiratory tract secration)
Crowding , poverty , black race , male .
Defect in complement (C5- C8 ) associated with recurrent meningococcal infection .
![Page 8: Bacterial meningitis. meningitis An inflammation of the leptomeninges. bacterial meningitis is a common complication of septicemia in children and must.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c27ced/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Etiology and epidemiology of meningitis
ventricular-peritoneal shunts: Coagulase negative staphylococci and
corynebacteria .
CSF leaks due to fracture cribriform palate or paranasal sinus ( pneumococcal ).
head trauma or neurosurgical procedures ( staphylococci )
![Page 9: Bacterial meningitis. meningitis An inflammation of the leptomeninges. bacterial meningitis is a common complication of septicemia in children and must.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c27ced/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Etiology and epidemiology of meningitis
Splenic disfunction (sickle cell anemia or asplenia ) increased risk of pneumococcal , H.influenza type b ,rarely meningococcal sepsis and meningitis .
Immuno-suppressed patients with T-cell defects (AIDS, and malygnancy) :
Cryptococcal and L.monocytogens.Open neural tube defect :
Meningomyelocele and lombosacral dermal sinus associated with staphylococci -Aureus and gram – negative .
![Page 10: Bacterial meningitis. meningitis An inflammation of the leptomeninges. bacterial meningitis is a common complication of septicemia in children and must.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c27ced/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
pathogenesis
Bacterial meningitis is usually hematogenous.
(endocarditis , pneumonia , or thrombophlebitis , burns , indwelling catheters )
Bacteremia precedes the condition or occur at the same time.
microorganisms leads to nasopharyngeal
colonization , replication , invasion , and bacteremia .
![Page 11: Bacterial meningitis. meningitis An inflammation of the leptomeninges. bacterial meningitis is a common complication of septicemia in children and must.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c27ced/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
pathogenesis
Bacteria entry to the CSF through the choroid plexus.and meningeal seeding , binding to specific receptors and production of local cytokines initiates inflammation.
Neutrophilic infiltration , increase vascular premeablity , alterations of blood- brain barrier , and cerebral edema .
![Page 12: Bacterial meningitis. meningitis An inflammation of the leptomeninges. bacterial meningitis is a common complication of septicemia in children and must.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c27ced/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
pathogenesis
Meningitis rarely may be follow bacterial invasive from a contiguous focus of infection ;
Paranasal synusitis , otitis media ,mastoiditis , orbital cellulitis, cranial osteomyelitis , penetrating cranial trauma ,meningomyeloceles ,
More often brain abscesses or epidural or subdural empyema follows contiguous infection .
![Page 13: Bacterial meningitis. meningitis An inflammation of the leptomeninges. bacterial meningitis is a common complication of septicemia in children and must.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c27ced/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Clinical manifestation
Onset has two patterns;
1. The more dramatic and less common is sudden onset(< 1 day ) rapidly progressive of shock ,purpura , DIC ,and reduce level of consciousness frequntly resulting in death in 24 hr ( S.pneumoniae , or N. meningitidis )
2. More often is preceded by several days of upper respiratory tract symptoms or GI symptoms . Subacute 2-3day .(H. influenzae)
![Page 14: Bacterial meningitis. meningitis An inflammation of the leptomeninges. bacterial meningitis is a common complication of septicemia in children and must.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c27ced/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Clinical manifestation
1. In the young infants:
fever usually is present and irritablity ,poor feeding , restlessness,may be noted.
signs of meningeal inflammation may be minimal.
2. Older child :
confusion , back pain , usually Kernig and Brudzinski signs in some children particularly
age < 12-18 mo are not present

(10-20% )Seizures occur in 20-30% Seizures that occure on presentation or within the
first 4 days of onset are no prognostic significance

diagnosis
Blood culture
( reveal responsible bacteria 50-90% ) LP
analysis CSF for WBC count with diff ,protein, glucose ,Gram stain helpful in 90% , culture)
CSF leukocyte count elevated >1000 and neutrophil (75-95%)
In tramatic LP Gram stain ,culture , glucose level may not be influenced.
![Page 21: Bacterial meningitis. meningitis An inflammation of the leptomeninges. bacterial meningitis is a common complication of septicemia in children and must.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070400/56649f135503460f94c27ced/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
diagnosis
LP should be performed in every child when bacterial meningitis is suspected. Except :
1. when signs of increased ICP are present .
2. Infection at the LP site.
3. Suspicion of a mass lesion.
4. Extreme patient instability.
5. Thrombocytopenia is a relative contraindication.

diagnosis
Patient in the flexed lateral decubitus position .
Intervertebral space L3-L4 or L4-L5.
Turbid CSF when CSF leukocyte count >200-400.
Pleocytosis may be absent and is a poor prognostic sign.
Pleocytosis with a lymphocytosis may be present during early stage of acute meningitis
