Meningitus or Flu? Please Answer!? |
well I'm not sick right now or anything but ive been hearing that the flu and meningitus can be very similar what exactly are the differences? Meningitis is inflammation of the meninges. Its cause can be bacterial, viral, fungal, or caused by toxins. Bacteria causes the inflammation in the meninges, (which are the layers between your brain and your skull), the cerebrospinal fluid(CSF), and the ventricles of the brain. This causes greater permeability of the vessels and causes blood cells to move into the cerebrospinal fluid(CSF). This thickens the CSF and disrupts it's normal flow. This will increase the overall pressure in your skull! What you will see with meningitis includes: fever( a very high fever), petechial rash (rash with small red bumps), photophobia(which is sensitity to light), nuchal rigidity(which is a very stiff neck!), severe throbbing headaches, and projectile vomitting(which is vomitting with out nausea). I think one can distinguish this from the common flu. Hope this helps. if you get a purple coloured rash that doesn"t fade when you press a glass down on it, you"ve probably got meningitis, and need to get to the hospital fast... |
