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. How should bacterial meningitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Bacterial meningitis is usually caused by purulent inflammation of the brain tissue due to infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae. In clinical diagnosis, it primarily manifests as symptoms such as fever and headache, as well as typical meningeal irritation. The treatment measures for purulent meningitis include antiviral treatment and symptomatic treatment. Antiviral treatment mainly involves the use of sensitive antibiotics for antiviral treatment, with penicillin-class antibiotics and sulfonamide antimicrobial drugs being commonly selected.
