2. CLINICAL CASE
• Patient S, 27 years old, was hospitalized on the 3 day of the disease with complains
of:
o fever 39°C,
o pronounced headache,
o repeated vomiting,
o generalized myalgia,
o sore throat.
• The disease had an acute onset.
• Objective data:
o T-39°C, rash – absent,
o in the pharings - herpetiform enantema,
o pulmonary - vesicular breathing,
o Ps – 92/min, BP – 90/60mm Hg.
o Occipital muscles are rigid.
2. Examinarea LCR
- se determină presiunea ( în N =70-200mm a coloanei de apă)
- reacția Pandy : metodă calitativă de evidențierea proteinelor din LCR cu
ajutorul acidului frenic. În meningitele acute apare o creștere a albuminorahiei
( apare un nor albicios). Intens pozitivă : în meningita TBC și bacteriană.
- numărătoarea de celule nucleate din LCR ( după o prealabilă liză a hematiilor
cu acid acetic).
- Astfel, LCR poate fi:
- LCR clar, transparent, limpede ca ,,apa de stancă", atunci când numărul de
celule nucleate este <100 /mmc,
- LCR opalescent (cu transparență diminuată) atunci când numărul de celule
nucleate este cuprins între 100-2000 /mmc
- LCR tulbure, ,,purulent", comparat cu ,,zeama de varză", atunci când
numărul de celule nucleate este mai mare de 2000 / mmc.
Ordinul de mărime al numărului de celule nucleate /mme LCR în diferitele
tipuri de meningite acute diferă în funcție de etiologie:
- In meningita TBC: de , ordinul zecilor" până la maxim 500 celule nucleate /
mmc
- In meningita virală: de ,,ordinul sutelor" până la maxim 2000 celule
nucleate/mmc. In majoritatea cazurilor de meningite virale, numărul de celule
nucleate este cuprins între 100-1000 celule nucleate/mmc
- In meningita fungică: de ,,ordinul sutelor"
- In meningita hacteriană deordin miilornână la zeci de mii celule nucleate
-
TRATAMENT:
1. Tratament etiologic:
- Meningită produsă de enterovirusuri: pleconaril , pocapavir
- M. cu virursurile HSV 1 HSV 2 : aciclovir i/v 10-15 mg/kg/8 ore , timp de 10-21
zile
- M. și encefalita produsă de virusul varicelo-zosterian : aciclovir
- Meningoencefalita cu EBV : tratament simptomatic și patogenic
- M cu virusul gripal A sau B : oseltamivir p/o, zanamivir inhalator
- M produsă de HIV : Amfotericină B (0,7-1 mg/kg/zi) + Flucitozină (4 x 25
mg/kg/zi), 2 săptămâni, apoi Fluconazol (400 mg/zi), 8 săptămâni
-
2. Tratament patogenetic:
-Tratamentul antiinflamator (corticoterapie în forme severe de meningite virale cu
HTA intracraniană , pleiocitoza, proteinorahie mut crescută. Dexametazon (0,4-0,6
mg/kg/zi). Durata: nu mai mult de 7 zile.
- Tratament depletiv cerebral : Maitol 20% în perfuzii i/v lent, la interval de 8 h , la
care se poate asocia un diuretic de ansă (furosemid) sau glucoză hipertonă (20%).

2. CLINICAL CASE
• Patient 25-year-old, rancher, was admitted to ED because of a two-day history of
headache, chills, and fever (40°C).
• The day before admission, he began vomiting.
• The day of admission, an orange-sized painful swelling in the left axilla was noted.
• Within a few hours of admission, he had a cardiopulmonary arrest.
• During resuscitation efforts, he vomited and aspirated his vomitus; a chest X-ray
showed bilateral infiltrate.
• Additionally, the patient bled from several body sites.
• The patient died within 6 hours of admission.
• In the 2 weeks prior to becoming ill, the patient had trapped, killed, and skinned 3 kit
foxes, 4 coyotes, and 1 bobcat. The patient had cut his left hand shortly before skinning the
bobcat.
