• Circulate to extra cerebral CSF &
subarachnoid space
• Rapidly multiply in CSF
• Release of inflammatory mediators
• Neutrophilic infiltrates
• Increase vascular permeability
• Altered BBB
• Vascular thrombosis
13. Pathology
• Thick exudate covering all areas
• Ventriculitis, arteritis, thrombosis
• Vascular occlusion, sinus occlusion.

14. Clinical features
• Nonspecific
– Fever,anorexia,myalgia,arthralgia,headache,
– Purpura , petechiae, rash, photophobia.
• Meningeal signs
– Neck rigidity, backache.
– Kernig sign
– Brudzinski sign
– Crossed leg sign
19. ICT signs
Headache, vomiting, drowsy, Fits
Ptosis, squint,
AF bulge, widened sutures
Hypertension, bradycardia
Stupor, coma
Abnormal posturing
Papilloedema [only in chronic ICT]
20. • Focal neurological deficit
• Cranial neuropathy
– 3rd nerve
– 6th nerve
– 7th nerve
– 8th nerve
21. Diagnosis
• LP & CSF analysis
– Gram stain
– Culture
– Cell count
– Glucose, protein
– [Contraindications for LP]
• Blood culture
23. CSF analysis
• Cell count
– Normal
• NB >30/mm3
• Child >5/mm3
– Meningitis >1000/mm3
• Turbid 200-400/mm3
• Early; lymphocytic predominance
• Later; neutrophilic predominance
• low in severe sepsis
28. CSF analysis in prior antibiotic
therapy
• Culture, gramstain altered
• Pleocytosis, protein, glucose unaltered

31. Treatment
• Rapidly progressive [ ~24h]
LP antibiotics
ICT , FND CTbrain & antibiotics
Manage shock, ARDS
• Subacute course [4-7d]
• Assess for ICT, FND
• Antibiotics CT LP
32. Supportive care
• Monitoring
– Vitals
– BUN,electrolytes,HCO3,IO, CBC,Platelets,Ca
– Periodic neurologic assessment
• PR,sensorium,power,cranial N ex, head circ,
• Supportive care
– IVF restrict for ICT,SIADH, more for shock
– ICT ETI & ventilation,frusemide,mannitol
– Seizures diazepam,phenytoin
33. Antibiotic therapy
• Vancomycin & cefataxime/ceftrioxone
– Pneumococci,meningococci,HIB.
• Ampicillin / cotrimaxazole I.V
– Listeria
• Ceftazidime & aminoglycoside
– Immunocompromised
34. Duration of therapy
Pneumococci : 7-10 days
Menigococci: 5-7 days
HIB; 7-10 days
E.coli,Pseudomonos ; 3 weeks
Antibiotics started before LP [partially
treated meningitis] ; ceftrioxone 7-10 days.
36. Corticosteroids
• Rapid bacterial killing
• Cell lysis
• Release of inflammatory mediators
• Edema
• Neutrophilic infiltration
• 1-2h before antibiotics
