What happens during the disease - viral meningitis, unspecified
В патогенезе вирусного менингита играет роль комплекс факторов, таких как:
- характеристика возбудителя;
- реакция организма человека;
- фон, на котором происходит взаимодействие конкурирующих организмов.
Серьёзную роль играет вирулентность возбудителя вирусного менингита (степень способности вируса вызывать заболевание), его нейротропность (способность вируса избирательно проникать в нервную ткань и вызывать её поражение) и другие особенности. В реакции человеческого организма значительную роль имеет возраст, характер питания, социально-бытовые условия, имеющиеся заболевания, проведённое ранее лечение, иммунологическая реактивность и др. Условия окружающей среды предполагают наличие физических факторов, например влажности, повышения или понижения температуры, солнечной радиации, контактов с живыми существами и растениями, переносчиками возбудителей инфекционных заболеваний и др.
Инфекционный агент может вторгаться в оболочки мозга разными путями:
- через кровь;
- лимфогенно;
- периневрально (через щелевидную полость, расположенную вокруг нервного ствола);
- контактно (при наличии гнойного очага, расположенного неподалёку от мозговых оболочек — отита, гайморита, абсцесса мозга)
При вирусных менингитах отмечается гиперпродукция цереброспинальной жидкости, нарушение внутричерепной гемодинамики, непосредственное токсическое действие возбудителя на вещество мозга. В результате этих процессов повышается проницаемость барьера между кровеносной системой и центральной нервной системой, повреждается эндотелий (внутренняя оболочка) мозговых капилляров, нарушается микроциркуляция, развиваются метаболические расстройства, усугубляющие гипоксию мозга (недостаток кислорода). Как следствие возникает отёк мозга, в случае прогрессирования отёка может произойти смещение одних структур мозга относительно других. Возможен летальный исход от остановки дыхания и сердечной деятельности.
