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.

Seminars in Neonatology, 2001
Despite major improvements in infant intensive care, neonatal meningitis remains a devastating disease. Survivors of bacterial meningitis are at high-risk for life-long neurological handicaps, and despite a reduction in mortality, the morbidity of neonatal meningitis has not changed substantially over the last thirty years. A substantial improvement in

Nosocomial Bacterial Meningitis
New England Journal of Medicine, 2010Nosocomial bacterial meningitis is most often related to either complicated head trauma or invasive procedures, such as craniotomy, placement of ventricular catheters, intrathecal infusion of medications, or spinal anesthesia. In addition, metastatic infection from hospital-acquired bacteremia occasionally leads to meningitis.

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.

Acute bacterial meningitis is a life-threatening infection. By definition, meningitis is an infection of the meninges and the subarachnoid space. Bacterial meningitis is associated with an inflammatory response that involves the meninges, the subarachnoid space, the brain parenchyma, and the cerebral arteries and veins.

While acute bacterial meningitis is becoming less common in developed countries because of the widespread use of vaccines against Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitides, and Haemophilus influenzae, bacterial meningitis still occurs worldwide, with peak incidence in young children and the elderly.

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2008
Despite advances in medical care including antibiotics and vaccines, meningitis still has a high morbidity and mortality rate, especially in certain high-risk patients. Early diagnosis with the administration of appropriate antibiotics remains the key element of management. This article highlights methods of diagnosis, differential diagnoses, treatment

Neonatal meningitis contributes substantially to neurological disability worldwide. Its incidence remains low but is significantly higher in neonates with documented sepsis, preterm infants, and when meningitis is nosocomial. Neonates are at higher risk of meningitis because of immaturity in humoral and cellular immunity, and the absence of specific ...

Fulminant Bacterial Meningitis
Pediatric Infectious Disease Journal, 2013Fulminant bacterial meningitis is a rare host reaction to infection characterized by sudden onset, rapid deterioration, abrupt cerebral edema and refractory intracranial hypertension associated with an extremely high mortality rate.A search of all relevant medical literature since 1900 was conducted to clarify the nature of this entity and its medical ...
