Chronic viral meningitis

by Sebmax

Does anyone have any insight into chronic viral meningitis? My husband has been ill x 10 months and no one can give us any solid insight. S/S include varying degrees of HA, LE weakness, short term memory loss, cognition deficits, ets. Any help or direction would be great!

Default Your RFI (request for information)
Sebmax,

Chronic viral meningitis is not a standard recognized medical term. Since length of illness depends on the natural history of infection or course and the amount of permanent damage. You should discuss with your husband ‘s physician. Depending on the permanent brain damage the signs and symptoms not the infection can last up to a lifetime. Another resource is the Nursing Books section of this web site or search medical-surgical nursing on any book store web site. Taber’s or Brunner’s or two good resources I refer students to.
