Meningitis (II) – acute bacterial meningitis

Abstract

Die akute bakterielle Meningitis ist ein medizinischer Notfall, insbesondere bei Patienten mit rasch progredientem Krankheitsbild und Bewußtseinstrübung. Die Liquoruntersuchung zeigt bei der bakteriellen Meningitis eine entzündliche Reaktion mit vorwiegend polymorphonukleären Zellen. Die häufigsten bakteriellen Meningitis-Erreger sind Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitis, Listeria monocytogenes, Gruppe B Streptokokken (Streptococcus agalactiae), Haemophilus influenzae und Enterobacteriaceae. Infektion mit spezifischen Meningitis-Erregern ist abhängig vom Alter und von prädisponierenden Faktoren. Die Behandlung hat zwei Hauptziele: Die Eradikation des Infektionserregers und die Behandlung der zentralnervösen und systemischen Komplikationen. Die empirische («blinde») antibiotische Therapie muß unverzüglich begonnen werden, da die Prognose der Erkrankung maßgeblich vom Zeitpunkt des Therapiebeginns bestimmt ist. Blutkulturen sollten stets vor Beginn der Antibiotikatherapie abgenommen werden. Die Wahl der empirisch verabreichten Antibiotika ist primär vom Alter des Patienten abhängig und wird anhand der Resultate der Gram-Färbung des Liquors und dem Vorhandensein von spezifischen Risikofaktoren angepaßt. Zu Beginn wählt man eine Antibiotikatherapie, welche alle wahrscheinlichen Erreger abdeckt und engt anschließend das Wirkungsspektrum wenn möglich ein.
