Symptoms of cerebral neuroinfection and possible consequences of the disease

1 Symptoms of pathology

Regardless of the type and location of the lesion, the neuroinfection of the brain and spinal cord is manifested by three bright symptoms:

1. General intoxication of the body. The patient's body temperature rises sharply, very often to critical markers, general weakness appears in the body, and disability decreases.
2. Liquor syndrome. In the cells of the CSF, the amount of protein and cells that predominate over the proteins increases significantly.
3. Symptoms of cerebrospinal hypertension. Patients indicate that in the prone position they have a significantly increased headache, especially in the morning, there may be confusion or absent-mindedness, there are cases of tachycardia and low blood pressure.

Neuroinfections in children manifest themselves quite often, while they have a severe degree of flow. Due to the fact that the baby's immune system is not yet fully formed, the lesion often occurs through a hemophilic rod. Based on medical research, it can be concluded that such lesions occur in children who have a history of congenital malformations of the nervous system: cerebral palsy, hypoxia during labor.

2 Diagnostic tests for suspected ailment

For the treatment to be effective and correct, it is necessary to undergo the following examinations:

1. Neuropathologist examination. Here the doctor will conduct research of all the reflexes of the body: coordination of movements, sensitivity, which will help to distinguish neuroinfectious diseases from other neurological diseases.
2. Laboratory blood tests. At this stage it is extremely important to determine the causative agent of the disease and to explore the possibilities of the immune system to resist it.
3. Diagnostic studies of the immune system. In the event that the infection penetrates through a mosquito or tick bite, it is necessary to correctly assess the ability to resist the disease.
4. MRI.In the study, foci of brain or spinal cord lesions will be identified, possibly recognizing tumor diseases that give similar symptoms.
5. Electroneuromyography. It is carried out to recognize the infectious damage of the peripheral nerves or spinal cord.

3 Treatment actions

Treatment of the disease that caused the virus, bacteria or fungi, will depend on the location of its location and the type of infection itself. The main tasks of drug therapy will be:

1. resumption of the proper functioning of the nervous system of the whole organism.
2. restoration of the body's immune system;
3. cessation of the pathways of infection;
4. elimination of the causative agent of infection;

• Viral encephalitis.

When diagnosed, the patient's encephalitis virus is immediately placed in the intensive care unit, as careful monitoring of the respiratory function in the body and circulatory processes is necessary. In the first few days, drugs are introduced to reduce temperature, antiviral and anticonvulsant. Minimize water intake for patients.

• Meningitis.

This disease requires urgent medical attention. Treatment takes place in a hospital environment, since serious complications are always possible, and a fatal outcome may occur.

As a treatment, broad-spectrum antibiotics and antibacterial drugs are used that remove the specific virus that caused the disease. The age and indices of blood pressure will also be the basis for prescribing medication.

• Fungal neuroinfection.

In this form, the disease is extremely difficult to diagnose immediately. Causes of the brain damage can be fungi of the genus Candida or cryptococci that enter the body through the mucous membranes of the nose, throat or ears. The most affected people are those who have a concomitant diagnosis of AIDS.In this group of people, fungi are activated against a background of a sharp decrease in the body's immune defenses and affect the brain regions.

It is dangerous in this form of the disease that symptomatic manifestations do not always immediately manifest themselves, but at the same time the development of the disease entails danger to human life. To suspect development it is possible on regular headaches and increased drowsiness.

To date, fungal meningitis is treatable, but only in 50% of patients. Before, before the invention of the drug Amphotericin B, it was 100% death. Also, doctors recommend using the drug Fluconazole and antibacterial therapy. All medical measures are carried out only in a hospital, under the strict supervision of a doctor. It is extremely important everyday blood tests, which show the further development of inflammatory processes.

• Myelitis.

This type of neuroinfections is considered one of the most severe and dangerous for humans. With the defeat of the spinal cord, there are almost always serious complications: nerve cells die, which leads to paralysis, impaired functions of the intestine, bladder.

As the treatment will be used drugs of the group of glucocorticosteroids and broad-spectrum antibiotics. It is very important to undergo timely treatment in the hospital to immediately stop the development of concomitant diseases that will be activated against the background of myelitis.

Since in almost all cases when the myelitis is paralyzed, it is extremely important to organize proper care for the patient and his skin, use the means that prevent the occurrence of pressure sores.

4 Results of the transferred

disease The most terrible and serious consequences are those that are transferred in utero. Here there will be irregularities in the formation of organs, nervous system, malformations.

After an illness, an adult has a headache, constant pain in the back, which is worse when the weather changes. Many doctors also state that in such patients after recovery, memory deteriorates, memory problems are noted, hearing, vision can be disturbed. There are isolated cases when the neuroinfectious disease leads to complete disability, a person loses sight or hearing.

Neuroinfection is a group of serious diseases that endanger human life. Only attention to your body and a quick call to the doctor will be able to minimize the development of complications or the likelihood of a lethal outcome.
