Initial diagnostik og behandling af formodet akut bakteriel meningitis.
Udgiver: Dansk Selskab for Infektionsmedicin 2018
Rapport og anbefaling vedrørende ulemper og fordele ved henholdsvis at undlade eller gennemføre lumbalpunktur for patienter i blodfortyndende behandling mistænkt for akut bakteriel meningitis.
Denne vejledning er tiltænkt diagnostik og behandling af formodet Lyme neuroborreliose hos voksne. Vejledningen er udarbejdet som et supplement til Borrelia klaringsrapport (2014).
Af Rikke Krogh-Madsen, formand for Dansk Selskab for Infektionsmedicin.
Der er lige nu massivt fokus på læger der har begået fejl. Aktuelt drejer det sig om behandling af meningokoksygdom. Bestyrelsen for Dansk Selskab for Infektionsmedicin (DSI) kender ikke til detaljerne i de konkrete sager og har ikke set sagsakterne. Dette er derfor en generel udtalelse som tager udgangspunkt i udmeldingen fra Patienterstatningen vedr. de tre meningokok-sager.

…isikoen for bakteriel infektion og sepsis er svært forhøjet ved manglende miltfunktion som følge af splenektomi samt kongenit eller funktionel aspleni. Alvorlige infektioner skyldes primært Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae og Neisseria meningitidis.
Risikoen for svær infektion ved malaria og dyrebid er også markant forhøjet.
Vaccination, antibiotika profylakse/tidlig behandling og adækvat patient information er afgørende for forebyggelse af infektioner.

Intracranial devices may be used to treat or guide treatment of increased intracranial pressure in patients with pneumococcal meningitis. European guidelines do not recommend the routine use of intracranial devices in management of pneumococcal meningitis. However, in some countries, intracranial devices are used routinely, but the effect remains unknown.

A previously healthy 52-year-old man presented to the emergency department with acute onset of pain and swelling of both knees, ankles, wrists, and shoulders. He was febrile with a temperature of 38.5°C and was immobilized due to the severe pain. Physical examination showed marked effusion in both knee joints, both ankles as well as the left wrist. There were no clinical, laboratory or radiological signs of any respiratory, abdominal, urinary, or neurological infection, nor cutaneous lesions.

Human parechovirus (HPeV) infection is increasingly recognized as a cause of severe illness in infants, including sepsis, meningitis, encephalitis, and seizures [1]. In neonates, HPeV encephalitis is associated with white matter injury and neurodevelopmental sequelae [2,3]. To our knowledge, there are only three case reports of congenitally acquired parechovirus infection.

Neisseria meningitidis (the meningococcus) is a diderm aerobic diplococcus, with a ‘coffee-bean’ shape, associated with life-threatening meningitis and septicemia, as well as pneumonia, septic arthritis, pericarditis or, more recently, urethral infections. N. meningitidis is a commensal organism in the nasopharynx and the throat of humans and is unable to survive outside of the human body. In the nasopharynx, N. meningitidis is engaged in complex interactions with the microbiota.
