Bacterial meningitis is a severe disease which affects 35.000 Europeans each year and has a mortality rate of about 20%. During the past 25 years the epidemiology of bacterial meningitis has changed significantly due to the implementation of vaccination against Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria meningtidis group C and Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Chemoprophylaxis for Bacterial Meningitis
Acta Clinica Belgica, 1986SummaryThe risk of contracting a meningococcal or Haemophilus meningitis for subjects in contact with a patient suffering from one of these diseases can be very high for some of them such as those in close contact with the patient, as well as children attending day-care centers or nursery schools; on the other hand, for subjects in more distant contact

Counterimmunoelectrophoresis and Bacterial Meningitis
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1978To the Editor.— Having just reviewed our experience with counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE), we read with interest the letter from Denis et al (238:1248, 1977) regarding CIE for the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. Our observations are not in agreement with those of Denis et al, and the discrepancies have important clinical implications.

Community-acquired bacterial meningitis has a high fatality rate, and survivors may have significant long-term neurologic sequelae, despite appropriate antibiotics. Although cerebral spinal fluid cultures and/or PCR testing are necessary to establish a definitive case of bacterial meningitis, antibiotic administration should never be delayed while ...

Recurrent bacterial meningitis
European Journal of Pediatrics, 1996To characterize recurrent bacterial meningitis in children, we reviewed the charts of all patients treated for more than one episode of bacterial meningitis at the Würzburg University Children's Hospital from 1980 to June 1995. Twenty-five children suffered 2-13 episodes of bacterial meningitis.

Anaerobic bacterial meningitis
The American Journal of Medicine, 1979Anaerobic meningitis occurred in four patients in whom anaerobic bacteria had not been suspected as a possible cause. The predisposing conditions were typical of those seen in patients previously reported to have this infection and included chronic otitis media with mastoiditis, chronic sinusitis, recent craniotomy and abdominal trauma.

Management of bacterial meningitis
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1993In developed countries the mortality from bacterial meningitis acquired outside the neonatal period is relatively low. In contrast, in developing countries it is often higher (20%-40%). In developed countries despite (and perhaps because of) the introduction of increasingly potent antimicrobials, the morbidity of bacterial meningitis has remained high.

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1996
Despite improvements in antibiotic therapy and the use of vaccines and chemoprophylaxis, acute bacterial meningitis remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Early diagnosis and therapy are important once the condition has been considered and the appropriate available specimens collected.
