[Death from inflammatory central nervous system diseases during 1950-1984 at the Pavlov Medical Institute].
The inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system (cns) are characterized by dramatic clinical picture and the outcome depends on early diagnosis and early treatment as well. In the report the dynamics of the lethality after inflammatory diseases is studied retrospectively for 35 years (according to five-year-plans). Cases with inflammatory diseases of cns are within the ranges of 2.3% (1980-1984), 8.86 (1950-1954) or 3.58% on the average for the period out of 24,014 cases. The material is divided into two groups: 1. deceased with specific (tbc) meningitis and/or meningoencephalitis. 2. Deceased with nonspecific inflammatory diseases. Such grouping is justified by the difference, which is required in the therapy of these two groups of diseases. Deceased with specific inflammatory diseases--5.42% against 3.44% (with nonspecific) predominate during the first-year-plan (1950-1954). The deceased from the first group reduce sharply reaching 0.12% during the third and the following five-year-plans. The percentage of deceased from the second group show greater stability--2.82--2.14%. In this group there is a tendency to a reduction of purulent inflammatory diseases and an increase of serous (nonspecific) diseases. The relative number of secondary nonspecific inflammatory diseases, among which dominate otogenic, increase--47.1% due to a reduction in the number of deceased with primary nonspecific inflammatory diseases.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
