[Complications and emergency conditions in acute inflammatory brain and spinal cord diseases].
A therapy comprising large doses of combined antibiotics and sulphonamides is the best way to prevent complications. Allowances are made for side-effects. OTC or similar widespectrum antibiotics, if there are no penicillin G or new better agents available, are to be used in conjunction with hydantoins because of the increase in excitability and the convulsivant effect, and cerebral decompensation as a result of the edematous effect should be prevented through early osmoregulation. In emergencies concerning central respiratory and circulatory disorders the best choice is artificial respiration with infusion therapy and osmoregulation. Success is gained by the use of discernment, both great and small amounts of effort, but most of all by the exercise of patience.
