Nasal endoscopy cannot detect meningitis.
Nasal endoscopy is a commonly used auxiliary examination in otorhinolaryngology, which can assist in clarifying the presence of inflammation, polyps, cysts, etc. in the nasal cavity, but it cannot probe the intracranial situation, let alone detect meningitis.
Meningitis is an infectious disease of the central nervous system, which can be divided into viral meningitis, bacterial meningitis, fungal meningitis and so on according to different pathogens. Its diagnosis needs to be combined with clinical symptoms, signs, lumbar puncture cerebrospinal fluid examination, cranial nuclear magnetism and other auxiliary examinations to comprehensively analyze the situation, among which the cerebrospinal fluid examination plays a very important role in the diagnosis of meningitis.
When headache, nausea and vomiting, fever and other symptoms occur, it is necessary to consult a doctor as soon as possible, under the guidance of the doctor to improve the cranial nuclear magnetic, lumbar puncture and other related auxiliary examinations, to make a clear diagnosis and then carry out standardized treatment.
