Meningitis Mycoplasma

Meningitis is an inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord. In the later stages - compression, swelling of the brain, decay of the brain substance with the formation of foci of hemorrhages, cysts and the development of secondary purulent pneumonia. The disease is usually caused by invading viruses or bacteria.

Recently, meningococcal infection has become increasingly important. Its causative agent is the diplococcus Neisseria meningitidis, which, after penetration into the nasal mucosa, multiplies by bipolar endotrophy, and then penetrates the body along the entire length of the respiratory tract, causing inflammation of the tonsils, epiglottis, pharynx, pharynx, larynx and trachea, as well as the mucous membrane of the paranasal sinuses nose, which is sometimes accompanied by the formation of cavities - meningitis, or paratonsillitis.

In the article “Mycoplasma meningitis” we will look at the features of the disease, symptoms, methods of diagnosis and treatment of mycoplasma meningitis.

Mycoplasmas are microorganisms that can cause various diseases in humans, including meningitis. Meningitis is an inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord. Mycoplasma cannot be seen with a microscope, since it does not have a cell wall, and its shape is similar to that of viruses. However, mycoplasmas are obligate parases, that is, they parasitize only inside the cells of other organisms. Unlike bacteria, mycoplasmas do not have outer membranes and can only survive inside other cells. Due to this, the infection develops its own characteristics - for example, a long latent course, low sensitivity to
