View of undersurface of brain with meningitis

Meningitis. View of the underside of a human brain affected by a meningitis infection. The underside of the brain stem is seen (at lower centre). Behind this is the cerebellum, part of the hind brain with the rear-end of the cerebrum visible behind. Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges, the membranes that cover and protect the brain and the vertebral tract. This is seen here as a creamy discolouration at upper centre. Meningitis is caused by either bacterial or viral infection. Viral meningitis is mild and requires almost no treatment, whereas bacterial meningitis is very dangerous and is usually treated with antibiotics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the unsettling reality of a meningitis infection on the undersurface of a human brain. The image reveals the profound impact this condition has on our most vital organ. At the lower center, we can observe the affected brain stem, while behind it lies the cerebellum and glimpses of the rear-end of the cerebrum. Meningitis, an inflammation of the protective membranes surrounding both our brain and spinal cord, is vividly depicted here as a creamy discolouration at upper center. This distressing visual serves as a reminder that this disease poses significant risks to our health. The causes of meningitis vary between bacterial and viral infections. While viral meningitis typically requires minimal treatment due to its mild nature, bacterial meningitis is alarmingly dangerous and necessitates immediate medical attention with antibiotics. This photograph not only highlights the severity of such infections but also underscores their importance in healthcare discussions. It reminds us how crucial it is for medical professionals to swiftly diagnose and treat these conditions to safeguard patients' well-being. Science Photo Library presents this thought-provoking image as part of their extensive collection focusing on diseases, conditions, medicine, infections, disorders, and other aspects related to healthcare.
