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.

Pneumococcal meningitis is a severe infection with high mortality and morbidity rates [1]. Despite advances in antimicrobial therapy and supportive care, new treatment strategies are required to improve outcome [1]. One frequently observed complication is an elevated intracranial pressure (ICP), attributed to several pathophysiological mechanisms, including brain swelling due to cerebritis, cerebral infarctions, thrombosis and hemorrhages resulting from blood vessel inflammation [2].

… Background. In low-resource settings, limited laboratory capacity adds to the burden of central nervous system (CNS) infections in children and spurs overuse of antibiotics. The commercially available BioFire® FilmArray® Meningitis/Encephalitis Panel (FA-ME) with its capability to simultaneously detect 14 pathogens in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), could potentially narrow such a diagnostic gap. .

. Background. Despite significant advances in prevention and treatment strategies, meningitis continues to pose a substantial global health challenge. The disease burden demonstrates marked geographical disparities, with disproportionate impact in resource-limited settings, particularly within the “meningitis belt” of Sub-Saharan Africa. The global meningitis burden is influenced by a complex interplay of environmental, behavioral, and socioeconomic determinants.

In this article, we review host and drug factors that influence an antibiotic’s likely effectiveness for the treatment of bacterial meningitis. We also review the preclinical and clinical data in support of or against each of the aforementioned agents for the treatment of bacterial meningitis.

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.

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.
