Highlight Disease: Meningitis Meningitis can be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, and
protozoa.
BACTERIAL MENINGITIS: Rarer but much more serious than viral meningitis. Can cause severe disease resulting in brain damage and death. Mortality rate 10%
Bacteria can grow in CSF in subarachnoid space.
Meningitis vs. encephalitis
Entrance to CNS facilitated by coinfection or previous infection with respiratory viruses
Viral meningitis much more common but milder. Usually resolves in 2 weeks. Mortality rate < 1%

Bacterial Meningitis: Review • Three major causes: • Haemophilus influenzae • Neisseria meningitidis • S. pneumoniae
• 50 opportunistic bacterial species can cause meningitis (L. monocytogenes, S. pyogenes, S. aureus)
• Symptoms: Fever, headache, stiff neck, followed by nausea and vomiting convulsions, coma, shock, and death
• Immediate Antibiotics ......then diagnosis by Gram stain or latex agglutination of CSF
• Not very contagious spreads by direct close contact with discharge from nose/throat of infected person.

Prevention and Treatment
• 1955: Salk vaccine – IPV ______________
• 1961: Sabine vaccine – OPV ______________ Advantages ?
• OPV has caused all the polio cases in the US between 1980 and 1999
• 2000: CDC recommends new IPV (eIPV) for routine immunization

Rabies Virus (of Rhabdoviridae) • Zoonosis – Transmission from saliva of rabid animal
• Virus multiplies in skeletal muscles retrograde axonal transport to CNS (encephalitis) back out to periphery, salivary glands etc.
• Initial symptoms may include muscle spasms of the mouth and pharynx and hydrophobia.
Furious rabies: restless then highly excitable.
Paralytic rabies: unaware of surroundings.

Prevention and Treatment
• Highly fatal – only handful of people survived
• Preexposure prophylaxis: Human diploid cells vaccine (HDCV) applied i.m.
• Postexposure prophylaxis (PEP): – Vaccine (HDCV, applied i.m. on days 0, 3, 7, 14, and 28) – Human rabies immune globulin (RIG)

rabies prevention: bait station
Rodents and rabbits seldom get rabies. Dogs, cats, cattle, skunks, raccoons, bats, etc. do Vaccination of pets! If necessary vaccination of wild populations
