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.

Pediatrics In Review, 2008
* Young infants who have meningitis may present with nonspecific clinical manifestations. * S. pneumoniae and N. meningitidis remain the most common causes of bacterial meningitis in the infant and child, and GBS continues to be the most common neonatal pathogen.

Nursing Standard, 2015
Based on strong evidence, blood cultures usually recover the causative organism of bacterial meningitis in children not pretreated with antibiotics. Based on moderate evidence, pretreatment does not adversely affect the cerebrospinal fluid cell count, but it decreases the positive test result for cerebrospinal fluid culture, especially for ...

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2013
Meningitis is defined as inflammation of the meninges, in almost all cases identified by an abnormal number of white blood cells in the cerebrospinal fluid and specific clinical signs/symptoms. Onset may be acute or chronic, and clinical symptoms of acute disease develop over hours to days.
