Abstract

In this study, patients who admitted to the emergency service with meningeal irritation signs and introduced lumbar punction were evaluated, and the relationship between spesific meningeal irritation signs and meningitis were investigated. In this study, fifty four cases who admitted to the Department of emergency services of GATA Haydarpaşa Training Hospital between January 2004 and June 2004 were evaluated retrospectively. Bacterial meningitis was diagnosed in 16 (30%) cases, viral meningitis in 8 (15%) cases and tuberculosis meningitis in 4 (7%) cases. Besides the central nerveous system infection, the other cases were diagnosed as; parkinson disease in two cases, subarachnoid haemorragie in one case, obstruction of ventriculoperitoneal shunt in one case, methanol into-xitaion in one case, cerebrovascular accident in one case, demyelinizan disease in one case, ancephelo-pathy in one case, and upper respitory tract infection in 18 cases were found. The study revealed that the headeche and abnormal neurologic signs in patients with central nerveous system infection were signifi-cantly higher than those in patients with non-central nerveous system infection (p

Özet

Bu çalışmada meninks irritasyon bulgularıyla ilkyardım servisine başvuran ve lomber ponksiyon uygulanan hastalar irdelenmiş ve spesifik meninks irritasyon bulgularının menenjit ile ilişkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada Ocak 2000-Haziran 2004 tarihleri arasında GATA Haydarpaşa Eğitim Hastanesi İlkyardım Servisi'ne başvuran 54 olgu incelenmiştir. Bakteriyel menenjit 16 (%30), viral menenjit 8 (%15) ve tüberküloz menenjiti de 4 (%7) olguda saptanmıştır. Merkezi sinir sistemi infeksiyonu dışında 2 olguda parkinson, birer olguda da subaraknoid kanama, ventiküloperitoneal şant obstrüksiyonu, metanol intoksikasyonu, beyin damar hastalığı, demiyelinizan hastalık ve ensefalopa-ti ile 18 olguda da üst solunum yolu infeksiyonu tanısı konmuştur. Merkezi sinir sistemi infeksiyonu saptanan olgularda başağrısı ve patolojik nörolojik muayene bulgularının, infeksiyon saptanamayan olgulara göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu gösterilmiştir (p
