Mind Map branch: CNS Infection CNS Infection Predisposing Factors Virulence of Infection Immune System Presence/Absence of Predisposing Factors Exposure Nervous System to Cold Too Cold = Dramatic Vasoconstriction Decrease of BC (blood cells) in Area of cooling Inability of protective reactions of Blood Cells Sinusitis 3 Types Frontal Maxilla Sphenoid Inflammation after Common Cold Misdiagnosed as Sinusitis Pus formation in Closed Space Results: Dissolution or enzymatic digestion of Facial Bone Frontal Sinus Sphenoid Sinus Leptomeningitis Inflammation of Dura Mater & Subarachnoid Space 3 Types: Acute Purulent Meningitis = Bacterial Infection from Pus Infants and Children Haemophilus Influenza Streptococcus Pneumoniae Adolescents, Young adults Neissaria Meningitidis Adults & Elderly Listeria Monocytogenes Streptococcus Pneumoniae Pathomorphology Pus on outside foundation of Brain Arachnoid Granulation = SWOLLEN Too much CSF (Hydrocephalus) CSF Pushes out and Flattens GYRI Little or NO ABSORPTION (which allows pressure to build) Clinical Symptoms Headaches Stiff Neck Fever Abnormal Function Brudzinskis Test Kerings Test CSF Analyzed Lumbar Puncture between L1-L3 CSF Findings: Decreased Glucose Bacteria Food Increased Neutrophils Increased Protein Exudate Protein Rich Fluid Give Antibiotics prior to results, (different antibiotic for different bacteria) Acute Lymphocyte (Viral) Meningitis (Aka Aseptic Viral Meningitis) Types: Mumps (Aka Epidemic Parotiditis) Infectious Childhood Disease Inflammation of Parotid Glands (Exocrine Glands = Salvia) Looks like Hamsters Face Results in: Acute Lymphocytic Viral Meningitis Acute Orchitis = Testicular Formation Infertility Echo Virus Coxsackievirus Epstein-Barr Virus Clinical Symptoms Same as bacterial But not as Dangerous CSF Findings Normal Glucose Increased Lymphocytes Increased Protein Chronic Meningitis (Bacterial) (BSTC) Bacteria's Involved Brucellia Species Treponema Palladium = Syphilis Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Cryptococcus neoformans Clinical Findings Same as previous but lower Manifestations CSF Findings Decreased Glucose Increased MonoNuclear Cells = Mono/Lymphocyte Increased Protien Tuberculosis Scar Tissue at base of Brain Involved any Tissue ( Typically LUNGS) VB = Caseous Necrosis Collapse of VB = Compression Fracture Humpbacked Spondylodiscitis (Xray) Like melting snow = Irregular Destructions of End Plates Inflammation of IVD Lack of blood supply Infection contamination due to Spinal Surgery Syphilis (Aka Lues) Spirochetes = Treponema Palladium Lyme Disease another Spirochete Only infection of human body Syphilis & Gonorrhea 3 Stages 2 Rare & Most Danegrous Disorders By Staphylocoocus and Streptococcus Epidural Abscess Purulent Inflammation in epidural space (Between Dura & Lamina) Exudate (Major Component of Inflammation) Fluid Builds and Pushes on Dura Results : Numbness & Tingling (nerve compression) Fever #1 Ominous Sign of Differention ADJUSTING SPREADS Infection Subdural Empyema Purulent (PUS) Inflammation in SUBarachnoid Space Infection to Brain Death Otitis Media Accumulation Of Pus Penetrates Wall of Inner Ear and Mastoid Dissolution of Mastoid Air Cells Chiropractic = Effective Treatment Lung Pathology Pneumonia Pleural Empyema Purulent (PUS) Inflammation of Pleura Basal Skull Fracture Can Lead to Infection
