Meningoencephalitis Typhoid fever

Typhoid meningoencephalitis is an acute infectious disease caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi (pneumoniae), which affects the meninges, central nervous system and skin. Transmission usually occurs through consumption of contaminated food or water.

Symptoms of typhus meningoencephalitis include fever, headache, vomiting and confusion. If complications develop, the infection can progress to meningitis, encephalitis and myocarditis.

The main treatment method for typhoid meningencephalitis is antibiotic therapy, which is aimed at eliminating the infection. In addition, the patient may be prescribed anticonvulsant medications to prevent seizures and disturbances in consciousness. If the patient's condition significantly deteriorates, hospitalization and intensive care in a specialized department may be required.

Currently, sypnotypic meninogencephalitis is rare, but the diagnosis of this disease should not be neglected for early detection and initiation of effective treatment.
