Bekommerde inwoners vra nou wat is breinvliesontsteking of virale, ook virus-verwante meningitis.<\/p>\n

Virale meningitis<\/a> (breinvliesontsteking) is nie so gevaarlik soos bakteri\u00eble meningitis nie, maar sowat 5% pasi\u00ebnte kan wel neurologiese simptome ontwikkel en sterf.
\nSoos in die geval van mnr. Troy Jansen van Rensburg, wat verlede Sondag oorlede is.<\/p>\n

Twee tieners, die 15-jarige Kay-Leigh Sloane (was 16 dae in hospitaal) en nou ook die 16-jarige Francois Coetzee (steeds in die hospitaal) is die afgelope tyd vir virale meningitis behandel.<\/p>\n

\u2022Virale meningitis is gewoonlik nie aansteeklik nie. Dit word deur virusse veroorsaak wat deur muskiete oorgedra word, of rioolbesmette water of die masels of die rubella-virus (Duitse masels).<\/p>\n

Alhoewel dit nie so ernstig is as bakteriese meningitis nie, kan dit egter ook net gediagnoseer word met \u2019n lumbale punksie<\/a> en moet die pasi\u00ebnt hospitaalbehandeling ontvang.
\nMense herstel gewoonlik vinnig sonder veel nagevolge.<\/p>\n

Virale meningitis klaar gewoonlik binne 10 dae op.<\/p>\n

Tekens en simptome word baie keer met griepsimptome verwar, omdat daar ook \u2019n seer keel, gewrigpyne en erge hoofpyn betrokke is.
\nMeningitis se tekens is egter ook \u2019n stywe nek, ho\u00eb koors, soms \u2019n veluitslag, pyn in bene, koue hande en voete en selfs abnormaal-bleek velkleur.<\/p>\n

\u2022Bakteri\u00eble meningitis is baie ernstiger as virale meningitis en kan permanente breinskade veroorsaak. As dit nie vinnig behandel word nie, kan \u2019n persoon binne ure sterf.<\/p>\n

Bakteri\u00eble meningitis is hoogs aansteeklik en kan versprei word deur slegs \u2019n klein druppeltjie besmette liggaamsvloeistof wat deur \u2019n nies, hoes of selfs eetgerei oorgedra kan word.
\nOmdat dit so aansteeklik is, word die pasi\u00ebnt vir ten minste vir 48 uur in isolasie gehou.<\/p>\n
