xanthine and Meningitis, Viral

xanthine has been researched along with Meningitis, Viral in 2 studies

7H-xanthine : An oxopurine in which the purine ring is substituted by oxo groups at positions 2 and 6 and N-7 is protonated.
9H-xanthine : An oxopurine in which the purine ring is substituted by oxo groups at positions 2 and 6 and N-9 is protonated.

Meningitis, Viral: Viral infections of the leptomeninges and subarachnoid space. TOGAVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; FLAVIVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; RUBELLA; BUNYAVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; ORBIVIRUS infections; PICORNAVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; ORTHOMYXOVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; RHABDOVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; ARENAVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; HERPESVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; ADENOVIRIDAE INFECTIONS; JC VIRUS infections; and RETROVIRIDAE INFECTIONS may cause this form of meningitis. Clinical manifestations include fever, headache, neck pain, vomiting, PHOTOPHOBIA, and signs of meningeal irritation. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1996, Ch26, pp1-3)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In multiple sclerosis, myelopathy, stroke, epilepsy and viral meningitis glutamate, hypoxanthine, xanthine, and uric acid are increased 2-3-fold compared to controls."1.30Cerebrospinal fluid hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid levels may reflect glutamate-mediated excitotoxicity in different neurological diseases. ( Kempski, OS; Lowitzsch, K; Stover, JF, 1997)
"Compared to the controls, patients with viral meningitis exhibited high concentrations of IMP, adenosine, guanosine, adenine, guanine and xanthine; patients with bacterial meningitis exhibited high concentrations of IMP, inosine, guanosine, adenosine, hypoxanthine, xanthine and urate; and patients with tuberculous meningitis exhibited high concentrations of AMP, guanosine, xanthine and urate."1.29Concentrations of nucleotides, nucleosides, purine bases and urate in cerebrospinal fluid of children with meningitis.
