How do intracranial infections occur?

Intracranial infection is one of the more serious diseases of the central nervous system, mostly due to bacteria, viruses, parasites, mycoplasma, chlamydia, mycobacteria, rickettsiae and other pathogens with the blood circulation, through the blood-brain barrier, invade the central nervous system, that is, the cranium and brain, resulting in a series of symptoms, known as intracranial infection; including encephalitis, meningitis and brain abscesses. So how do intracranial infections occur? Generally, it occurs when patients undergo some invasive therapeutic operations because of some craniocerebral disorders, for example, in neurosurgery, doctors may carry out some invasive operations including craniotomy, ventricular drainage, lumbar pool drainage, ventriculoperitoneal shunt, etc., in order to provide better treatment for patients. This will give pathogenic bacteria a chance to take advantage of the situation. Intracranial infection is a very dangerous and terrible complication, which is usually manifested in early stage as fever, headache, vomiting, impaired consciousness, neck straightening, etc., and may lead to more serious injuries in later stage, which may even be life-threatening. Therefore, once an intracranial infection occurs, it must be treated early and in time, so as not to deteriorate the condition, which may not be curable in the late stage. So which hospital is good at treating intracranial infections? General hospitals for intracranial infections, especially more serious drug-resistant bacterial infections, like Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (green pus) infections, often do not have a particularly effective means of treatment. Because these tend to present with purulent cerebral crevicular fluid, conventional anti-infective therapy is generally ineffective. Therefore, patients with intracranial infections should promptly choose a specialized hospital department and take the correct treatment.
