Extractions: What is bacterial meningitis? Meningitis is an infection of the fluid in the spinal cord and the fluid that surrounds the brain. Meningitis is usually caused by an infection with a virus or a bacterium. Knowing whether meningitis is caused by a virus or a bacterium is important because of differences in the seriousness of the illness and the treatment needed. VIRAL MENINGITIS is usually relatively mild. It clears up within a week or two without specific treatment. Viral meningitis is also called aseptic meningitis. BACTERIAL MENINGITIS is much more serious. It can cause severe disease that can result in brain damage and even death.

Extractions: and the Detroit-area meningitis outbreak Meningitis is one of the most serious infections you can have. It is also one of the scariest understandably, since untreated some forms of meningitis can cause death or lasting impairment. The meninges are membranes that enclose the brain and spinal cord. There are actually three layers of membrane: the "dura", which is a tough outer layer, the "arachnoid", which is a lacy, web-like middle layer, and the "pia", which is a delicate, fibrous inner layer containing many of the blood vessels that feed the brain and cord. Meningitis, strictly speaking, is an inflammation of the meninges. (The suffix "-itis" stands for "inflammation"; inflammation of the brain tissue itself is called "encephalitis", where "encephal-" refers to the brain tissue.) There are many causes for inflammation of tissue, and the meninges are no exception. However, the most common cause of meningeal inflammation is irritation caused by infection with bacteria or viruses. These organisms usually enter the meninges through the bloodstream from other parts of the body. As a matter of fact, many meningitis-causing bacteria are carried in the nose and throat, often without the carrier having symptoms. Viral meningeal infections are usually (but not always) less severe than bacterial infections. This is quite fortunate, since there are no antibiotic treatments available for most viruses and we must therefore let viral meningitis run its course by itself. Bacterial meningitis, on the other hand, must be treated with antibiotics in most cases to avoid severe consequences. Unfortunately the only way to confirm that meningitis is not bacterial is to culture the spinal fluid (actually the cerebrospinal fluid, since it bathes both the spinal cord and the brain) and see if there are bacteria in it. This can take 3-5
