Abstract
Meningitis is the inflammation of the meninges associated with an abnormal number of cells in the cerebrospinal fluid. It is a disease caused by an infection of the cerebrospinal fluid or brain. Identification of the pathogen requires rapid diagnostic methods for rapid treatment, in order to minimize hospitalization, mortality and associated complications. The aim of this study was to update and future identify the etiology of viral meningitis in adult and pediatric patients, and to create new management strategies for the diagnosed cases. Even more, we are lately increasingly interested in the relevance of the oxidative stress in the matter mentioned above, and we will describe here some aspects about that.
