2. Eat vitamin E-rich foods. There are a group of compounds that are known as Vitamin E and have been found to show antioxidant-like properties. This vitamin is also known as an anti-inflammatory because it has the ability to suppress or inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins, thus lowering your prostaglandin levels. The more omega 3 fatty acids blocking the COX 1 enzyme, the fewer omega 6 fatty acids will be converted to prostaglandins. 2  Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids include: sardines, salmon, soybeans, flax seeds, walnuts, tofu and mackerel.
The viral form of meningitis is more common and is sometimes referred to as aseptic meningitis.. Viral meningitis is caused by a number of different viral infections including mumps, herpes, Epstein-Barr, varicella zoster (the virus that causes chickenpox), measles and influenza.oth the viral and bacterial forms of the debilitating disease exhibit similar signs and symptoms at first -- but bacterial meningitis is generally much more severe.
1 CSF lactic acid â often used to distinguish between viral and bacterial meningitis; the level will usually be increased with bacterial and fungal meningitis while it will remain normal or only slightly elevated with viral meningitis. CSF lactate dehydrogenase (LD) â used to differentiate between bacterial and viral meningitis. 2  CSF C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute phase reactant and is elevated with inflammation; it is markedly increased with bacterial meningitis.
