 - temporal lobe มักพบความผิดปกติของการพูด และการมองเห็น
 - Cerebellar มักพบ ataxia และ nystagmus

ID: 003,006,017,018,022,078,080,083,087,090,091,092
pathology
The virus is ingested with fecally contaminated food or water. The initial multiplication occurs in the lymphatic tissue of the oropharynx (tonsils) and intestine (appendix). Dissemination to the regional lymphatics is followed by viremia.
mechanism
    The mechanism by which circulating viruses cross the blood- brain barrier is probably by transcapillary diffusion. The term poliomyelitis indicates that:
    1.     The gray matter (polio) of the spinal cord (myel) is inflamed (itis).
    2.     Motor neurons are involved, but the lesions are not usually confined to the anterior horns of the cord.
    3.     In fatal cases, destruction is found in the cerebral ganglia, reticular formation, cerebellar nuclei, hypothalamus, thalamus and cerebral cortex.
   
Common symptoms of ppost-polio syndrome (PPS) are:
* continuing muscle and joint weakness
* muscle pain that gets worse
* becoming easily exhausted or fatigued
* muscle wasting, also called muscle atrophy
* trouble breathing and swallowing
* sleep apnea, or sleep-related breathing problems
* low tolerance of cold temperatures
* new onset of weakness in previously uninvolved muscles
* depression
* trouble with concentration and memmory

TREATMENT
Stage 1: Acute stage of muscle paralysis
Feeding by nasogastric tube in those with bulbar dysfunction
Endotracheal intubation and ventilation should be instituted in case of respiratory muscle failure or bulbar and laryngeal muscle paralysis.
Rest on a firm mattress with back supported on a lumbar board. Avoid forceful exercise as this may increase paralysis. Avoid massage.
Moist hot packs to the affected muscles produce considerable relief from the pain. Analgesics can also be used to relief pain.
Feet to be supported by rigid boards at 90˚ angle. Early spinal bracing for the back if it is weak.
Hip and knees should be positioned as straight as possible and arms in abduction with mild support.
Passive range of motion for the joints to avoid contracture formation.
Positon the patient with face down and hip extended every 2 hourly to prevent pressure sore and deformities.
Stage 2: Recovery or convalescent stage
Sitting up can be encouraged if the paralysis is not severe.
Fever drops, exercises should be started to prevent contractures and return strength.
Passive, active assisted to active resisted/ strengthening exercises, sitting balance training, standing balance training in parallel bars, gait training should be started.
Crutches, leg braces(calipers) and other aids may help the child to move better and may prevent contractures or deformities.
Whenever possible make exercises fun. Active games, swimming and other activities to keep limb moving as much as they can are important throughout the child’s rehabilitation.
Stage 3: Rehabilitation (Goals of polio treatment in the stage of residual paralysis)
- Strengthening of all the innervated muscles.
- Preventing contractures and deformities.
- Making the patient as independent as possible.
- Emotional and psychological support.

Pathology
                                               Infection 

Blood brain barrier(BBB)
Trigger inflammatory mediation(Cytokine)
Breakdown matrix metalloproteinase(MMPs),Oxidative,Block CSF
Hydrocephalus, cerebral edema,increase ICP, neural death
Sign and Symptoms
Sudden high fever
Stiff neck
Severe headache that seems different than normal
Headache with nausea or vomiting
Confusion or difficulty concentrating
Seizures
Sleepiness or difficulty waking
Sensitivity to light
No appetite or thirst
Skin rash (sometimes, such as in meningococcal meningitis)
Signs in newborns

When to see a doctor
Fever
Severe, unrelenting headache
Confusion
Vomiting
Stiff neck

Medical assessment
  • Lumbar puncture   
  • Bacteria :  glucose level is lower than 50% blood serum level

  • Virus     :  -normal glucose level
-Mild increase in protein 
-Absence of bacterial mechanism
-Mononuclear cells in the hundreds

  • Radiographs :  rule out fracture, sinusitis, mastoiditis

  • CT scan    :  brain abscess or infection
  • Kernig’s sign
  • Brudzinski’s sign

  1. Kernig’s sign      B. Brudzinski’s sign

Treatment 
Medical treatment
Bacterial meningitis

  • Acute bacterial meningitis treated with antibiotics, corticosteroids helps to ensure recovery and reduce the risk of complications, such as brain swelling and seizures.
Viral meningitis

  • Antibiotics can't cure viral meningitis
  • Bed rest
  • Drainage plenty of fluids
  • Over-the-counter pain medications to help reduce fever and relieve body aches.
Tuberculous Meningitis

  • Treatment usually lasts for at least 12 months. Medicines called corticosteroids.  

Physical therapy treatment
Physical therapy, often started 
  • To maintain long-term functioning. 
  • create an environment that reduces your sensitivity to light and sound - such as a darker room to promote calm and reduce headache complaints. 
  • Chronic fatigue, often a residual effect of bacterial meningitis, is treated by stretching your muscles to relax the body
  • Another lingering symptom of bacterial meningitis is abnormal posture. To support mobility of the neck and other areas 
  • Skin care and prevention of bedsores.
  • Care of bowel and bladder.

  - Operative :  * Continuous tube drainage
       *  Marsupialization
       *   Aspiration
       *   Excision
- Non - Operative : Antibiotic
*** Aspiration ร่วมกับการให้ Antibiotic จะได้ผลดี
TREATMENT FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY
   * Exercise
   * Passive stretching
   * Gait/Transfer training
   * Balance/ Coordination
