Rapport og anbefaling vedrørende ulemper og fordele ved henholdsvis at undlade eller gennemføre lumbalpunktur for patienter i blodfortyndende behandling mistænkt for akut bakteriel meningitis.
Denne vejledning er tiltænkt diagnostik og behandling af formodet Lyme neuroborreliose hos voksne. Vejledningen er udarbejdet som et supplement til Borrelia klaringsrapport (2014).
Af Rikke Krogh-Madsen, formand for Dansk Selskab for Infektionsmedicin. Der er lige nu massivt fokus på læger der har begået fejl. Aktuelt drejer det sig om behandling af meningokoksygdom. Bestyrelsen for Dansk Selskab for Infektionsmedicin (DSI) kender ikke til detaljerne i de konkrete sager og har ikke set sagsakterne. Dette er derfor en generel udtalelse som tager udgangspunkt i udmeldingen fra Patienterstatningen vedr. de tre meningokok-sager.

To the Editor We read with interest the recent Review on bacterial meningitis and agree that prompt diagnosis and early adequate antibiotic therapy are crucial for the prognosis. Although polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests are extremely useful both for differentiating between bacterial and aseptic meningitis and for bacterial identification, we believe that the role of immunochromatographic tests (ICTs) should not be overlooked.

To the Editor The recent Review on bacterial meningitis is both timely and relevant, given that a considerable amount of time has passed since the last consensus statement or guidelines on bacterial meningitis. Despite recent improvements in management of bacterial meningitis, there is still a long way to go to attain the goals set by the World Health Organization, which provided an ambitious plan to address meningitis and its consequences by 2030.

In Reply In response to the Review article on bacterial meningitis, Dr Ait-Ali and colleagues describe the usefulness of the S pneumoniae ICT that can be performed on CSF of patients with suspected pneumococcal meningitis. I agree that this is a very sensitive and specific test for pneumococcal meningitis, and is particularly useful in hospitals without access to multiplex PCR assays. The S pneumoniae immunochromatographic test is also less expensive and faster than PCR assays and is an invaluable tool, esp…

Before the advent of anti-tuberculosis drugs in the 1940’s, tuberculous meningitis (TBM) was a much feared and almost universally fatal form of tuberculosis. Thus when the first anti-tuberculosis drugs, streptomycin and para-aminosalycilic acid (PAS), became available, they were given first to those with TBM. Suddenly, the disease became treatable. Case-fatality fell from 70% with streptomycin and PAS, to around 30% with the combination of isoniazid, pyrazinamide and rifampicin[1].
