Bacterial meningitis in children
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1994Bacterial meningitis is an important problem in childhood. Vaccines can prevent Haemophilus influenzae type b disease and are being developed for infections caused by meningococci and pneumococci. Lumbar puncture is an important part of the diagnostic workup although care is required with its use.

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.

Prophylaxis in bacterial meningitis
Journal of Hospital Infection, 1985A questionnaire about the use of prophylactic antibiotics in bacterial meningitis was sent to medical officers of environmental health and microbiologists in England. There was broad agreement that prophylaxis should be offered to close contacts of acute meningitis due to Neisseria meningitidis but not to contacts of meningitis caused by Streptococcus ...

Treatment of bacterial meningitis
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2002The therapeutic approach to acute bacterial meningitis has changed in recent years as a result of changes in in vitro susceptibility of many meningeal pathogens to previously standard antimicrobial therapy. Given the emergence of strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae that are resistant to penicillin and the cephalosporins, the combination of vancomycin ...

PROPHYLAXIS OF BACTERIAL MENINGITIS
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1999A 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 ...

Treatment of bacterial meningitis
Comprehensive Therapy, 1999Major epidemiological changes have altered the empiric therapy of patients with bacterial meningitis, a disease with significant morbidity and mortality. We offer recommendations for empiric management decisions and specific antibiotic choices for patients with bacterial meningitis.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1987
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 ...

Bacterial Meningitis—An Update
Clinical Pediatrics, 1991This report emphasizes new clinical information about bacterial meningitis in infants and children. Important elements of diagnosis include examination for the presence of shock and increased intracranial pressure. In such cases, initial treatment should focus on appropriate fluid therapy, administration of oxygen, reduction of intracranial pressure ...
