Initial empiric therapy for community-acquired bacterial meningitis should be based on the possibility that penicillin-resistant pneumococci may be the etiologic organisms and, hence, should include a combination of third-generation cephalosporin (cefotaxime or ceftriaxone) and vancomycin.

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.

Meningitis remains a significant health problem for the older adult population. Although the overall incidence of this disease has decreased in the United States, the incidence of meningitis in the elderly population is increasing. Additionally, the recognition of meningitis in the older adult may be more difficult because the usual symptoms and signs ...

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 ...

Bacterial meningitis is a neurologic emergency. Vaccination against common pathogens has decreased the burden of disease. Early diagnosis and rapid initiation of empiric antimicrobial and adjunctive therapy are vital. Therapy should be initiated as soon as blood cultures have been obtained, preceding any imaging studies.

Bacterial meningitis is a neurological emergency. Empiric antimicrobial and adjunctive therapy should be initiated as soon as a single set of blood cultures has been obtained. Clinical signs suggestive of bacterial meningitis include fever, headache, meningismus, vomiting, photophobia, and an altered level of consciousness.
