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 ...

Meningitis can result from an invasion of the central nervous system (CNS) by bacteria, fungi, viruses, or parasites. While a diagnosis differentiating the types of meningitis may be difficult in the early stages, it is imperative that treatment be instituted as soon as possible. Bacterial meningitis can have a mortality rate of 100% if left untreated.

The American Journal of Medicine, 1983
The etiologic agents in bacterial meningitis vary with time, geography, and patient age. Predominant pathogens are Escherichia coli, group B streptococci, Listeria monocytogenes, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria meningitidis, and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Approximately 70 percent of all cases occur in children under the age of five.

Fulminant bacterial meningitis without meningeal signs
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1989Common clinical practice relies on the absence of neck stiffness or other meningeal signs to rule out meningitis in the alert, healthy adult. The literature does not address this specifically but implies that meningeal signs are reliable and usually present in awake patients, except infants, the elderly, and the immunosuppressed. In the following three
