Abstract

Bacterial meningitis is a severe and life-threatening disease that rapidly progresses in neonates and infants; prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are lifesaving. Magnetic resonance imaging remains the primary imaging technique for diagnosing meningitis; however, due to its limited availability and cost, ultrasound is often used for initial screening. Microvascular imaging ultrasound (MVI) is an emerging technique that offers insight into the brain microvasculature beyond conventional ultrasound. Here we present three patients with confirmed bacterial meningitis and associated cerebral microvascular findings on brain MVI to instigate further validation of cerebral microvascular imaging markers of bacterial meningitis for early detection and intervention.

细菌性脑膜炎婴儿的微血管成像结果:病例系列。
细菌性脑膜炎是一种严重的危及生命的疾病,在新生儿和婴儿中病情发展迅速;及时诊断和适当治疗可挽救生命。磁共振成像仍然是诊断脑膜炎的主要成像技术;然而,由于其可用性和成本有限,超声波通常用于初步筛查。微血管成像超声(MVI)是一种新兴技术,它能提供超越传统超声的脑微血管洞察力。在此,我们介绍了三例确诊细菌性脑膜炎的患者以及脑部 MVI 的相关脑微血管发现,以进一步验证细菌性脑膜炎的脑微血管成像标记,从而进行早期检测和干预。
