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.

(Lancet Infect Dis. 2013 Jan;13(1):27-35) nedsat mortalitet ved IV administrering af en øget dosis Rifampicin og Moxifloxacin i blot 14 dage til ca. 60 patienter med tuberkuløs meningitis - efterfulgt af standard behandling. Der var derfor store forventninger til denne store kliniske trial, hvor effekten af øget Rifampicin dosis samt et flourquinolon (per oralt) blev undersøgt på ca. 700 Vietnamesiske patienter.

Adjunctive steroids ameliorate the inflammatory response due to the release of cytokines reducing inpatient mortality and neurological morbidity in community-acquired bacterial meningitis, and are advocated by guidelines in patients with suspected bacterial meningitis. As the most common causes of meningitis and encephalitis are non-bacterial, adjunctive dexamethasone is given to a substantial proportion of viral meningitis patients while awaiting confirmatory testing such a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

Among viruses causing meningitis, Toscana virus (TOSV), a phlebovirus, is transmitted through sandfly bites.
