Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. I would like to ask, what happens if there is a high fever with meningitis?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, this 58-year-old female patient is currently diagnosed with meningitis at the local hospital. If there is a high fever that does not subside, it indicates that the infection in her brain is very severe and has not been fully controlled. It is recommended to conduct a cerebrospinal fluid bacterial culture. Based on the culture results, specific medication decisions can be made. If necessary, hormones can also be used for aggressive treatment to stabilize her toxic symptoms.
