What is aseptic meningitis?

Aseptic meningitis is a term used to define inflammation of the brain linings, called meninges, due to various etiologies with negative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) bacterial cultures . Many studies and books determine it by showing CSF pleocytosis of more than five cells/mm3.[1]   It is one of the most common, usually benign, inflammatory disorders of the meninges.[2]

What is the sensitivity of a meningitis score?

The Bacterial Meningitis Score has a sensitivity of 99% to 100% and a specificity of 52% to 62% and is the most specific tool readily available at the time.  Other laboratory findings such as procalcitonin, serum C-reactive protein, and CSF lactate levels can help discern between aseptic and bacterial meningitis. [3]

When to use age adjusted leukocyte counts?

It is critical to use age-adjusted values for leukocyte counts when interpreting CSF results in neonates and young infants. Neutrophils predominate the CSF in up to 57% of children with this condition, which means that cell type alone cannot be used to discriminate between aseptic and bacterial meningitis in children. [3]

How to prevent meningitis?

Viral meningitis and many other infectious causes' spread can be prevented with strict isolation ( usually droplet isolation) and frequent hand washing , especially after diaper changes in children to prevent the spread of enterovirus infections. [2][6] Appropriate hand hygiene is a necessity, and isolation should be adhered to based on the suspected cause. Vaccines are available for those at risk for polio, mumps, measles, mumps, varicella, and rubella and should be given according to the vaccine schedule. For populations living or visiting endemic areas, arboviral vaccines are also available. [2][7][6]
