Es decir que el contacto debe de ser cercano para que se pueda trasmitir. Salvo en casos de problemas de falta de defensas por enfermedades previas (linfomas, inmunodeficiencias, diabetes, etc...) la susceptibilidad es escasa, ya que la bacteria causante suele estar en la garganta del 10% de los individuos y no se desarrolla la enfermedad.

Prevention is better than cure Meningitis Meningitis is an inflammation of the lining of the brain. It is very rare but very serious, although if it’s picked up and early enough, most people make a full recovery. It can be caused by either viruses or bacteria . The bacterial type is less common. There are two main types of bacterial meningitis – meningococcal and pneumococcal. See also Meningitis C Septicaemia Septicaemia is a form of blood poisoning, which may be caused by the same germs that cause meningitis. Septicaemia is very serious and must be treated straight away. The germ gets into the body through the throat and passes into the blood stream. In some cases, the germs multiply in the blood stream and cause blood poisoning.

Meningitis (Hirnhautentzündung) OA Dr. Michael Augustin Was ist eine Meningitis? Das Bild zeigt das Gehirn im Querschnitt. Das Gehirn ist von Hirnhäuten umgeben (siehe Pfeil). In genau diesen Hirnhäuten kann eine Entzündung entstehen. Gehirn und Rückenmark sind außen von einer Schutzhülle aus Bindegewebe umgeben, den so genannten Hirn- bzw. Rückenmarkshäuten (Meningen). Diese können sich durch unterschiedliche Erreger entzünden, man spricht dann von einer Meningitis. Ist auch das Gehirn selbst mitbetroffen, wird dies Meningoenzephalitis genannt (encephalon, gr. = Gehirn). Eine Meningitis ist immer als Notfall zu betrachten, da sie sich innerhalb weniger Stunden massiv ausbreiten und unbehandelt zum Tod führen kann! Bei einem Auftreten der unten genannten Symptome ist daher unmittelbar ein Arzt zu konsultieren. Wie bekommen Sie Meningitis? Die häufigsten Erreger sind Bakterien und Viren, seltener sind auch Pilze oder Parasiten die Ursache. Unter den Bakterien kommen vor allem Meningokokken, Pneumokokken und Haemophilus influenzae in Frage. Es ist nicht geklärt, warum völlig gesunde Menschen plötzlich eine bakterielle Meningitis bekommen. Die Keime werden im allgemeinen durch Tröpfcheninfektion, d.h. etwa durch Niesen oder Husten, übertragen. Gelegentlich kann es aber auch zu einer direkten Fortleitung kommen, so zum Beispiel bei Kopfverletzungen mit Schädelbruch, aber auch bei
