Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with a neurology department. How is meningitis checked?Doctor's answer:
The common symptoms of meningitis include high fever, headache, nausea, restlessness, anorexia, and twitching. Detailed examinations such as blood tests, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, brain CT, and MRI are necessary. Lumbar puncture to examine cerebrospinal fluid is an important diagnostic method for meningitis. Clinical manifestations combined with careful examinations can usually diagnose meningitis. Your colleague's main symptom is dizziness, which does not necessarily indicate meningitis. If necessary, tests such as positional tests, blood glucose, electrocardiogram, blood lipid, and cervical X-ray can be performed to rule out other diseases.
