|---|---|---|---|
| 설명 | 중국 광동 지역에서 가장 먼저 발생한 전염성호흡기병으로 세계보건기구(WHO)에서 ‘중증급성호흡증후군(SARS)'으로 명명했다. 섭씨 38도 이상의 고열과 기침, 호흡곤란, 저산소증, X선상의 폐렴증상 중 하나 이상의 증상이 나타나며, 두통, 근육통, 식욕부진, 피로감, 발진, 설사를 동반할 수 있다. 초기 증상은 감기와 비슷하지만 폐렴으로 발전하면 치명적일 수 있다. 현재 밝혀진 감염경로는 환자가 재채기나 기침할 때 내뿜는 침방울이고, 이것이 다른 사람의 호흡기로 들어갈 때 전염된다. 침방울이 전달되는 거리는 보통 1m로 보고 있다. 공기를 통해 전염이 가능하다는 주장이 제기됐지만 아직 확인되지 않았다. 원인균은 변종 코로나바이러스로 밝혀졌다. |

| meningitis, fungal | Meningitis caused by species of fungi. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| meningitis, haemophilus | A type of meningitis caused by haemophilus influenzae type b. It develops insidiously over several days and is commonly associated with an upper respiratory infection. (12 Dec 1998) |
| meningitis, listeria | Meningitis caused by bacteria of the genus listeria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| meningitis, meningococcal | Inflammation in response to infection with neisseria meningitidis of the pia-arachnoid and the fluid residing in the space which it encloses as well as the fluid in the ventricles of the brain. This condition occurs most often in children and adolescents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| meningitis, pneumococcal | Meningitis caused by bacteria of the species streptococcus pneumoniae. This condition can develop as a complication of pneumococcal pneumonia; by extension from otitis, mastoiditis, or sinusitis; following a skull injury; or without preceding sign of infection elsewhere. (12 Dec 1998) |
| meningitis, viral | Meningitis of viral origin usually due to picornaviruses, togaviruses, herpes viruses, paramyxoviruses, or arenaviruses. Symptoms include headache, malaise, nausea, fever, and neck stiffness. (12 Dec 1998) |
| meningococcal meningitis | An acute infectious disease affecting children and young adults, caused by Neisseria meningitidis; characterised by nasopharyngeal catarrh, headache, vomiting, convulsions, stiffness in the neck (nuchal rigidity), photophobia, constipation, cutaneous hyperesthesia, a purpuric or herpetic eruption, and the presence of Kernig's sign. Fulminant form may cause Waterhouse-Friderichsen syndrome. Synonym: cerebrospinal fever, epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mollaret's meningitis | A recurrent aseptic meningitis; febrile illness accompanied by headaches, malaise, meningeal signs, and cerebrospinal fluid monocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cryptococcal meningitis | <pathology> An opportunistic infection caused by the fungus Cryptococcus neoformans and involving the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms may include severe headache, confusion, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, fever and speech difficulties. Left untreated, the disease can lead to coma and death. Standard treatments are amphotericin B (induction) and fluconazole (maintenance). (09 Oct 1997) |
| Haemophilus influenza meningitis | <disease> A form of meningitis caused by the bacterium haemophilus influenza. Inflammation of the membranes (meninges) covering the brain and spinal cord can result after infection with this organism. Influenza meningitis occurs most frequently in children under 5 years old. Onset may be sudden or occur more slowly after an upper respiratory infection. Symptoms and features include fever, headache, stiff neck, photophobia and mental status changes. Infants may be irritable and exhibit poor feeding associated with fever. Severe cases may progress to seizures, coma and death. Treatment always includes high-dose systemic antibiotics and corticosteroids may also be used in some select cases. (27 Sep 1997) |
| serous meningitis | Acute meningitis with secondary external hydrocephalus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neoplastic meningitis | Infiltration of subarachnoid space by neoplastic cells, typically medulloblastoma or metastatic carcinoma. Synonym: neoplastic arachnoiditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| influenza meningitis | <pathology> A form of meningitis caused by the bacterium haemophilus influenza. Inflammation of the membranes (meninges) covering the brain and spinal cord can result after infection with this organism. Influenza meningitis occurs most frequently in children under 5 years old. Onset may be sudden or occur more slowly after an upper respiratory infection. Symptoms and features include fever, headache, stiff neck, photophobia and mental status changes. Infants may be irritable and exhibit poor feeding associated with fever. Severe cases may progress to seizures, coma and death.
