Nursing Standard, 2015
Based on strong evidence, blood cultures usually recover the causative organism of bacterial meningitis in children not pretreated with antibiotics. Based on moderate evidence, pretreatment does not adversely affect the cerebrospinal fluid cell count, but it decreases the positive test result for cerebrospinal fluid culture, especially for ...

Tuberculous (TB) meningitis is common in resource-poor communities but also occurs in developed countries where the diagnosis is frequently delayed because of unfamiliarity with the disease. TB meningitis develops whenever a small intracranial tuberculoma (Rich focus) ruptures causing predominantly basal meningitis.

Spinal Meninges and Their Role in Spinal Cord Injury: A Neuroanatomical Review.
Journal of Neurotrauma, 2017Current recommendations support early surgical decompression and blood pressure augmentation after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). Elevated intraspinal pressure (ISP), however, has probably been underestimated in the pathophysiology of SCI.

Meningitis remains a significant health problem for the older adult population. Although the overall incidence of this disease has decreased in the United States, the incidence of meningitis in the elderly population is increasing. Additionally, the recognition of meningitis in the older adult may be more difficult because the usual symptoms and signs ...
