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.

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

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.
