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.

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 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.

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.

Chemoprophylaxis for Bacterial Meningitis
Acta Clinica Belgica, 1986SummaryThe risk of contracting a meningococcal or Haemophilus meningitis for subjects in contact with a patient suffering from one of these diseases can be very high for some of them such as those in close contact with the patient, as well as children attending day-care centers or nursery schools; on the other hand, for subjects in more distant contact

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.

Counterimmunoelectrophoresis and Bacterial Meningitis
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1978To the Editor.— Having just reviewed our experience with counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE), we read with interest the letter from Denis et al (238:1248, 1977) regarding CIE for the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. Our observations are not in agreement with those of Denis et al, and the discrepancies have important clinical implications.

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.
