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.

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 ...

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.

Candidal Meningitis Following Bacterial Meningitis
Southern Medical Journal, 1990Patients with bacterial meningitis and posttraumatic and/or postsurgical access to the CSF are at risk for superinfection with Candida species. Patients who are not improving on appropriate antimicrobial chemotherapy for bacterial meningitis or are deteriorating after initial improvement should have a CSF reexamination for Candida superinfection.

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.

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 ...

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.

Two recent cases of mixed bacterial meningitis at the Kansas City Veterans Administration Medical Center were studied. A review of the literature suggests that 1% of all cases of meningitis are caused by more than one bacterial species. Before 1950 such cases occurred predominantly in children and were caused by combinations of bacteria commonly ...
