title: [Treatment of patients with sequelae of meningitis at a balneologic health resort].
abstract: The results of balneotherapy in patients with cerebroasthenic and hypertensive syndromes are described. Twenty-four children were examined electrophysiologically and neuropsychologically before and after sanatorium treatment. Massage, exercises, drug therapy, radon and carbon dioxide and sulfurated hydrogen baths were used. Sanatorium treatment resulted in a significant improvement of the general condition, of bioelectrical cerebral activity, of brain hemo- and CSF-dynamics as well as in the recovery of cortical functional activity. The most effective and stable results were obtained in patients with a favourable premorbid period of meningitis. Children with meningitis which occurred after an aggravated premorbid period needed repeated treatment courses.
