Central nervous system infections in children (bacterial, tubercular)
Current Opinion in Neurology, 1995Central nervous system infections are an important cause of childhood morbidity and mortality. This review discusses recent developments in diagnostic tests, management strategies, and prevention of bacterial and tubercular meningitis.

Management of bacterial central nervous system infections
2017Bacterial infections of the central nervous system present as a medical emergency, thus requiring rapid diagnosis and immediate treatment. The most prevalent bacterial infections seen in the intensive care unit can be summarized as acute bacterial meningitis, subdural empyema, intracerebral abscess, and ventriculitis, which all commonly involve the ...

Treatment of bacterial infections of the central nervous system
Annals of Neurology, 1981AbstractAntimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial meningitis and other pyogenic intracranial infections have now been in use for approximately 45 years. The last decade, however, has been a period of tremendous advances in knowledge of the pharmacokinetics and other characteristics of the available drugs.

Bacterial Infections of the Central Nervous System in Neurosurgery
Neurologic Clinics, 1986CNS infections following clean neurosurgery are uncommon but occur with increased frequency following neurotrauma and placement of CSF shunts and ventriculostomies. When faced with the possibility of meningitis or brain abscess in these settings, the clinician must aggressively seek definitive diagnostic information by means of CT scanning and cell ...

Pharmacokinetic Optimisation of the Treatment of Bacterial Central Nervous System Infections
Clinical Pharmacokinetics, 1998Central nervous system (CNS) infections caused by bacteria with reduced sensitivity to antibacterials are an increasing worldwide challenge. In successfully treating these infections the following conditions should be considered: (i) Antibacterials do not distribute homogeneously in the central nervous compartments [cerebrospinal fluid (CSF ...

Current concepts of bacterial infections of the central nervous system
Journal of Neurosurgery, 1983✓ Investigative work continues to provide guidance toward more rational management of bacterial meningitis and bacterial brain abscess. An increased understanding of the host's response in cases of bacterial meningitis has established that diffusibility of an antibiotic into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is necessary, but is not sufficient for ...

Bacterial, Fungal, and Parasitic Infections of the Central Nervous System
2015The prognosis of infection largely depends on the immune status of the host and the existence of an etiological treatment.

Bacterial variants in central nervous system infections in infants and children
The Journal of Pediatrics, 1973A pilot study was performed to estimate the prevalence of cell wall defective bacteria in spinal and subdural fluids from infants and children with central nervous system infections. Although osmotically unstable bacteria were sometimes present with classical bacteria early in acute bacterial meningitis, they were rarely found later and were not ...

Neurodegeneration in models of Gram-positive bacterial infections of the central nervous system
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2007Gram-positive bacterial infections of the central nervous system, such as meningitis, induce an extensive inflammatory response, which in turn may damage neurons. LTA (lipoteichoic acid) is a component of the Gram-positive bacterial cell wall that induces glial inflammatory activation in vitro and in vivo.

We investigated the utility of procalcitonin in early diagnosis of bacterial central nervous system (CNS) infection. Serum procalcitonin level was markedly elevated in the patients with systemic meningitis but not in the patients with brain abscess and subdural empyema. Procalcitonin may be useless to diagnose focal bacterial CNS infection.
