1. Qual a diferença entre meningite bacteriana e viral? Qual a gravidade e sequelas?
A meningite viral é a forma mais comum e mais leve da doença e frequentemente acomete crianças pequenas e bebês, especialmente no primeiro ano de vida. A melhora costuma ser espontânea, em algumas semanas, sem necessidade de tratamento específico. Por outro lado, a bacteriana é muito grave e deve ser tratada como uma emergência médica. Se não tr

2. Pediatric bacterial meningitis and meningococcal disease profile in a Brazilian General Hospital
Abstract Objective To evaluate the clinical and epidemiological profile of bacterial meningitis and meningococcal disease in pediatric patients admitted to a Brazilian Secondary Public Hospital. Methods A descriptive observational study was conducted. Microbiologically proven bacterial meningitis or meningococcal disease diagnosed from 2008 to 2018 were in

3. Bacterial meningitis in patients with sickle cell anemia in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil: a report on ten cases
ABSTRACT Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a common genetic blood disorder, affecting millions worldwide. According to current evidence, individuals with SCA have more than 300 times greater risk to develop bacterial meningitis (BM) than the general population. Herein we have described the characteristics of a series of BM cases in SCA patients in Salvador, Brazil

4. Application of Cervical Vestibular-Evoked Myogenic Potentials in Adults with Moderate to Profound Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Preliminary Study
Abstract Introduction The cochlea and the vestibular receptors are closely related in terms of anatomy and phylogeny. Patients with moderate to profound sensorineural hearing loss (MPSHL) should have their vestibular organ functions tested. Objective To evaluate the incidence of vestibular abnormalities in patients with MPSHL and to study the correlation

5. Comparison of cerebrospinal fluid lactate with physical, cytological, and other biochemical characteristics as prognostic factors in acute bacterial meningitis
RESUMO As meningites bacterianas (MB) estão associadas à alta morbidade e mortalidade. O lactato no líquido cefalorraquidiano (LCR) pode ser usado como biomarcador de prognóstico nas MB. A hipótese desse estudo é que os níveis de lactato no LCR se mantém elevados entre pacientes com MB aguda que evoluem para óbito, ao contrário do que ocorre em pac

6. Post-neurosurgical meningitis caused by KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae: report of two cases
ABSTRACT Nosocomial bacterial infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is associated with high mortality in neurosurgical patients. There are few reports in the literature on meningitis caused by CRKP. We report two cases of CRKP meningitis after neurosurgery. The K. pneumoniae identification and antimicrobial susceptibility tes

7. Validation of multiplex PCR for the diagnosis of acute bacterial meningitis in culture negative cerebrospinal fluid
RESUMO Este estudo avaliou as características funcionais da reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR) multiplex para amostras de líquido cefalorraquidiano (LCR) de pacientes com características celulares e bioquímicas de meningite bacteriana aguda e culturas de LCR positivas ou negativas. Métodos: O PCR multiplex foi realizado em 36 amostras de LCR: menin

9. Performance of lactate in discriminating bacterial meningitis from enteroviral meningitis
ABSTRACT The cytological and biochemical examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been used for the presumed diagnosis of bacterial meningitis until the final microbiological results are achieved. We assessed the ability of CSF lactate in comparison with other CSF parameters to discriminate bacterial and enteroviral community acquired meningitis. We incl

11. Reactive oxygen species generation mediated by NADPH oxidase and PI3K/Akt pathways contribute to invasion of Streptococcus agalactiae in human endothelial cells
BACKGROUND Streptococcus agalactiae can causes sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis in neonates, the elderly, and immunocompromised patients. Although the virulence properties of S. agalactiae have been partially elucidated, the molecular mechanisms related to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in infected human endothelial cells need further investigati

12. Comparison of culture and PCR methods in the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis
Abstract Our aim in this study is to compare the standard culture method with the multiplex PCR and the Speed-Oligo® Bacterial Meningitis Test (SO-BMT) – a hybridization-based molecular test method – during the CSF examination of the patients with the pre-diagnosis of acute bacterial meningitis. For the purposes of this study, patients with acute bacter
