Fluid management in haemophilus influenzae meningitis

Infection, 1980
The fluid management of 50 children with Haemohpilus influenzae type B meningitis was reviewed. Clinical hydration status on admission, serum sodium values, and overall fluid balance was assessed to determine the contribution of empiric fluid restriction in preventing the development of syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone (SIADH).

Abstract This chapter reviews the pathogenesis of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) meningitis, a multistep process that begins with: (i) colonization of the nasopharynx; (ii) subsequent invasion into the blood, which leads to haematogenous dissemination; (iii) bacterial penetration of the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier/blood-brain barrier

Patients with H influenzae meningitis had significantly
