Granular ependymatitis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria that enter the spinal cord through the spinal canal. This disease can lead to serious complications such as paralysis, organ dysfunction and others.
Granular ependymatitis can be caused by various bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus and others. These bacteria can enter the cerebrospinal fluid through spinal fissures or tears.
Symptoms of granular ependymatitis may include headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, back and neck pain, and weakness and numbness in the extremities. In some cases, loss of consciousness and convulsions may occur.
Treatment for ependymatitis granularis usually includes antibiotics, which help kill the bacteria that cause the disease. Other treatments, such as spinal canal drainage or surgery, may also be used.
To prevent granular ependymatitis, it is necessary to monitor the health of the spine and avoid back injuries. It is also important to maintain good hygiene, not to use dirty hands when handling medical instruments and not to introduce foreign bodies into the body.
