Brudzinski Sign Test

The chances of contracting meningitis vary depending on factors such as age, immune status, and exposure to pathogens, but it is generally considered a rare disease.

A positive Brudzinski sign occurs in elderly patients with meningitis because the inflammation of the meninges increases their sensitivity, causing reflexive leg movements when the neck is flexed.

The Brudzinski sign is primarily associated with meningitis, specifically indicating meningeal irritation or inflammation.
