[Changes in the acid-base condition and gas composition of the blood in meningoencephalitis of meningococcal etiology].
A study of the acid-base state in meningococcous meningoencephalitis demonstrates that there are different metabolic changes: metabolic acidosis, metabolic alkolosis, respiratory alkalosis and metabolic and respiratory alkalosis. These studies also detected a significant correlation between the character of these changes and syndromes of brain lesions. Deep lesions are characterized by metabolic acidosis, basal-stem lesions by respiratory alkalosis, multiple lesions--by metabolic alkalosis. These data give ground to speak of the significance of brain pathology in the pathogenesis of general metabolic disturbances in meningococcus infections.
