My wife was diagnosed with Strep A Bacterial Spinal Meningitis on 5/24/14. She has gotten better & is in out patient rehab therapy now. she had a MRI a week ago today. the doctor that ordered it said he felt her infection was gone & I think he said the swelling of her meneges( lining of the brain was better also) However he did say that her he noticed that she had Hddro encephalitis in her left ventricle she is taking seizure preventive medication & steroids for the inflammation she will see a family doctor tomorrow. The doctor that ordered the MRI is going over the results with a neurologist & a nero surgeon to see if any thing else should be done or a change in meds she be done. Her present meds she is on will run out in a week. Hopefully the specialist doctors will contact her family doctor to make sure she gets what is best for her. Her apt is at 4:40 tomorrow.
I read your question and I understand your concern. The treatment as you seem to know yourself consists of antibiotics as well antiepileptics to prevent seizures and steroids for inflammation. However, given the date I suspect those things have been done now and its more a question of dealing with the aftermath of the infection. I guess its being evaluated by a neurosurgeon for the possibility of needing a Chat Doctor.
