Meningitis - causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, pathology 

Please don’t ever stop making these. I’ve just started medicine and these are a godsend.

When I was a kid I used to have A LOT of fevers and at one point neck stiffness. My mom never took me to get tested for anything though. Glad to be alive

PLEASE PRAY FOR MY little BROTHER!!! HE just got it and in very serious condition my parents are broken,I don't know what to do, I'm her sister send ur prayers THANK YOU

Over here panicking thinking I have meningitis because of a stiff neck lol. I always think I'm dying💁‍♀️

Hi! I just want to say I'm currently in nursing school and I love all your voice-overs, and all your videos. They've helped me understand the content so much, especially since I'm very visual and the illustrations, as well as your voice overs, help me A LOT! Thank you so much from Connecticut!

Awesome explanation saves my time searching through books .... thankyou thakyou so much hope u continue to make such awesome videos in coming years.. so that a med student (like me 😉) would find each and every topic simplified here ...

NURSING STUDENT AND BADLY NEEDED IT FOR MY CONCEPT MAP LOL .... REALLY IT IS WELL EXPLINED AND SIMPLIFIED ... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK OSMOSIS.

I had the bacterial version as a child its nice to finally understand what I had

Thank you so much you’re a god send. I am a medical student from Fiji.

At the time you posted this, I was suffering from a strange flu, later diagnosed via CSF as bacterial meningitis. Eight months later. I woke up in the hospital after spending seven days in ICU in an "altered state of consciousness"--encephalomeningitis. I had been complaining about ear pain, a chronically runny nose,loss of hearing and dizziness months before the first episode of meningitis. My PCP found ear wax and suggested peroxide for the ear and Benadryl for the "allergies." Neither offered relief. While hospitalized, a CT and MRI revealed "diffuse reticular opacities consistent with acute mastoiditis" and an empty sella leaking CSF through my nose. Both mastoiditis and CSF leaks can cause meningitis. Now I'm waiting for surgery.

thank you for uploading..i came to your channel to search for this and it just got uploaded 17 hrs ago... i have a request ..can you please make for encephalitis also ..

Excellent. I finally found an explanation the oncologist would not give me. Thank You !!!

In Kernig's sign, it is positive when you have spasm of the harmstring muscles leading to resistance in knee extension, not back pain

Tomorrow my osce... This was a very helpful video thank you osmosis I wish I discovered your videos from my first year...

Had a friend's dad pass away from meningitis. Up to this day we still don't know exactly how he got it. The only thing we know is that he worked with computer hardware and one day started getting the triad symptoms.

am a nurse having a test tomorrow this was so helpful

Small correction on the basic physiology: the amount of CSF reabsorbed each day is equal to the amount produced each day (when describing the volume reabsorbed each day you should not subtract the 150 mL volume of CSF from the 500 mL daily production).

You guys are the best ! Love your videos they make my studies simpler and easy to understand , keep up the good work

My favorite medical page 😍 so beautifully and easily explained 👌 keep up the good work guys 👏 😁

Your lectures are very helpful to my studies. I am a med student from India. And I really follow your video and make notes of it and study. Thank u for doing such a great job. My med school is incomplete without Osmosis 😊

I got chemical meningitis from IVIG (immunoglobulin) treatment, I have MCAS which most likely triggered this response. Taking anti-histamines helps with the headaches. I have chronic migraines, but these headaches are a whole different kind of hell. I'm glad to know what's happening to my body at least.

I couldn't to find so complete information like this in my language. ¡Gracias!-Thanks!

Great and helpful video yet again Thanks

I’m glad I’m watching this video...it’s very informative

Very clear explanation, thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. I really needed to learn about this!

Don't forget about Haemophilus influenzae type B.

Amazing! Thank you so much for such an informative video.

Thanks for the video.. one note: viral meningitis CSF sample will typically have normal glucose levels (~2/3 [serum]).

You make life easier!

My little sister had Haemophilus Meningitis when she was just 3 years old back in 1986. I was also a child at the time and I remember us all playing with our toys one day and Sally (my sister) looked like she had just run into the corner of a table because her eye area was totally red, swollen, and to me looked like raw hamburger (my childs perception/memory.) It all happened so fast, one minute she seemed fine to me and the next I remember I thought she had hurt herself or something. I was only 6 years old myself. My mother took her immediately to our trusted family pediatrician with my grandmother thankfully, because my poor mom ended up fainting into her arms because Dr. Titus literally started running with my sister to the hospital and said to his medical team "We will try and save her eye later, right now we have to try and save her life!" My sister was admitted to the childrens hospital and I wasn't allowed to see her for over a month while she stayed there. My aunt used to take me in her arms to the yard of the hospital so I could wave to Sally in the window with my mom and her nurses as she fought to recover. Thankfully she ended up making a full recovery and has perfect vision to this day. I don't know much about the disease itself and I wanted to research it and try and find out more information about it online, so here I am. From what I understand, back in the 1980's this was the number one killer of young children. I hope it is not still the case :( I have been finding information out about meningitis, and it sounds like there might be a vaccine of some sort for it which I really hope to be true. I don't know how I would have ever gotten through life if my sweet little sister had been taken away at such a young age. It's just the two of us. My parents would have never recovered mentally, I know that. My heart and sincere healing prayers go out to anyone out there who is facing this or any other serious illness like this. Please know that you are not alone and please don't hesitate to take your little ones to the emergency room right away if you ever notice anything like these symptoms developing because it happens extremely fast

I was diagnosed with meningitis when I was 11 days old & then I was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at 7 months old. I'm doing well I'm 47 yrs of age but I just feel so sorry for those poor children who have major difficulties because of this condition 😢

Bruh. Best. Study. Channel. Ever. Keep being you.

I’m currently in hospital with my second dose in 12 years of chemical meningitis, caused by a ruptured epidermoid cyst by my right optic nerve When it first happened there wasn’t a lot of information about chemical meningitis as I was one of 5 in the world to have had it. I was born with bacterial meningitis, and I found this was very interesting Thank you I have an epidermoid tumour as well but that has stayed in tact I have photophobia, neck stiffness, back ache and a camel hump on my neck, looks like cushings disease. I just thought I’d let you know. Previous rupture I had extreme phonophobia and it was intense. I’ve also had the symptoms of a stroke, weakness, slurred speech, facial numbness and loss of sight ( blurred vision ) Thank you and take care

I’ve just interest and started to learn all of my medicine study, cuz of this video, wish me luck😇

Thank u so much ;these were very helpful ; may Allah make u happy in this world and the next😊💖💖💖

Thanks for the vid, it breaks it down!

Meningitis is the inflammation of the meninges while encephalitis is the inflammation of the brain itself. With that being said, that was a nice presentation. Keep it up.

Tankyou......this vedio is very helpfull for my studies ....iam b pharm student ..... 💗💗💗 continue this great work sir

thank you so much you help me and i have internal medicine exam in next days ....

Two points you need to add to this video: 1. Haemophilius influenzae is a common cause of meningitis in Adolescents & adults. 2. Projectile vomitting is a common & important clinical feature.
