Neurologic Clinics, 1990
Antibiotics and improvements in supportive care have greatly reduced the mortality from bacterial meningitis. Nevertheless, the incidence of neurodevelopmental sequelae remains unacceptably high.

PROPHYLAXIS OF BACTERIAL MENINGITIS

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1999
A comprehensive review of all major agents causing bacterial meningitis--meningococcus of the groups A, B, C, W135, and Y, pneumococcus, and Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib)--is done in terms of preventing them by chemoprophylaxis or vaccination. Some evidence suggests that the group B meningococcal disease may also be very likely preventable by a ...

Bacterial Meningitis Update

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 1987
Meningitis can result from an invasion of the central nervous system (CNS) by bacteria, fungi, viruses, or parasites.
