1. Relevance of the topic:

Involvement of the central nervous system in infectious diseases are associated with varying degrees of tropism of viruses, bacteria, toxins, and their aggressiveness to the nervous system. They may show up in various degrees of irritation that can occur with inflammatory meningism and morphological changes and the transition to a serous(aseptic) or purulent(septic) meningitis. There may be severe complications such as cerebral edema or cerebral compression with severe consequences such as hydrocephalus, paresis, paralysis, and others. These lesions are very common among adults as well as in children, which is important in the practical medicine and the development of medical science. The differential diagnosis is very important at the pre-hospital and the hospital stage to take decision about adequate therapy.

Meningismus - presence of meningeal syndrome caused by non-inflammatory lesions of the meninges and other causes. The main symptoms are headache, neck stiffness, Kernig-Brudzinsky sign mostly absent or mild, symptoms associated with irritation, no pleocytosis in CSF.

Causes of meningismus: impairment of CSF circulation in tumors, cerebral edema as a result of intoxication, allergies, hemorrhage, hydrocephalus. In the pathogenesis is the rapid increase in intracranial pressure.

Meningitis - inflammation of the meninges of the brain and spinal cord. Causes of meningitis may have different pathogenic microorganisms (Mycobacterium tuberculosis, staphylococcus, streptococcus, pneumococcus, meningococcus, viruses, etc.). In all forms of meningitis observed meningeal syndrome, which consists of local and cerebral symptoms and changes in the cerebrospinal fluid.

Main symptoms:

• Hyperthermia

• Headache

• Vomiting

• Stiffness of neck

• Kernig-Brudzinsky sign

It is known that she was working in a kinder garden, 4 days ago had a contact with meningococcal disease (Before one week a boy had suffered with meningococcemia in the group).

Nasopharyngeal swab culture was positive for meningococcus, and therefore she was directed to the infectious diseases hospital. She felt on the day of investigation (as well as on the evening before one day and two days after the swab from the nasopharynx) malaise, stuffy nose, mild sore throat when swallowing, subfebrile fever, which she regarded as "common cold," and was treated with home remedies (drinking tea with raspberries, put mustard on his back).
