Summary Introduction

To review:

The reasons for validating the easy detection of meningitis as compared to other skin or intestinal infections.

Introduction:

Meninges is a protective layer surrounding the brain. It has three sublayers, namely the dura mater, arachnoid, and the pia mater, which layers the CNS (central nervous system). Another important component is CSF (cerebrospinal fluid), which flows via the subarachnoid space followed by reabsorption in the bloodstream.

Meningitis is a severe brain and spinal cord inflammatory disease caused mainly by three bacterial species namely Streptococcus pneumonia, Neisseriameningitides, and Haemophilus influenzae. The inflammation mainly occurs in the pia mater and the CSF, the sample taken for the disease detection is withdrawn from the CSF. The intestinal and skin infections are caused by various virulent factors of a huge range of microorganisms.
