Two cases of meningococcal meningitis complicated by pulmonary oedema are described. The pulmonary arterial wedge pressure was raised in the one case studied. Profound sympathetic over-activity may be the cause of the pulmonary oedema occurring in this situation. If this is so, adrenergic blockade would appear to be a rational approach to therapy.
本文描述了两例脑膜炎球菌性脑膜炎并发肺水肿的病例。在其中一例研究中,肺动脉楔压升高。严重的交感神经过度活跃可能是这种情况下发生肺水肿的原因。如果真是如此,肾上腺素能阻滞剂似乎是一种合理的治疗方法。
