दिमागी बुखार का क्या है ईलाज? | Meningitis: causes, symptoms & treatment | Dr. Kunal Bahrani

Hello everyone! I’m Dr. Kunal Bahrani, Senior Consultant & Director of Neurology at Marengo Asia Hospital, Faridabad. Today, we're diving into an important topic: Brain Fever, also known as Meningitis. 🤒🦠 Meningitis is an inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, typically caused by an infection. The culprits can be bacteria, viruses, fungi, or even parasites. 🚨🔬 Common symptoms include severe headaches, high fever, stiff neck, sensitivity to light, confusion, and in some cases, seizures. Young children and infants might show irritability, poor feeding, and a bulging fontanel. 🧒👶 Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent serious complications. Diagnostic procedures include lumbar puncture (spinal tap), blood cultures, and imaging tests. 💉🧪 Treatment varies depending on the cause: bacterial meningitis requires prompt intravenous antibiotics and sometimes corticosteroids, while viral meningitis might resolve on its own, needing supportive care like hydration and pain relief. In severe cases, antiviral medications are prescribed. 🏥💊 Preventive measures include vaccinations against common pathogens like Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib). Maintaining good hygiene practices and avoiding close contact with infected individuals can also help reduce the risk. 💉🧼🤲 Stay informed and proactive about your health!
