The Pathophysiology of Pneumococcal Meningitis
Annals of Medicine, 1994 The interactions between pneumococcal surface components and host defence systems that initiate pneumococcal meningitis have been studied in considerable molecular detail over the past decade. In this sense, the pneumococcus has served as a prototype for the unravelling of the genesis of inflammation caused by gram-positive bacteria.B, Spellerberg, E I, Tuomanenopenaire +2 more sourcesGenome analysis of a highly virulent serotype 1 strain of streptococcus pneumoniae from West Africa [PDF]
, 2012 Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of pneumonia, meningitis, and bacteremia, estimated to cause 2 million deaths annually. The majority of pneumococcal mortality occurs in developing countries, with serotype 1 a leading cause in these areas.Loman Nicholas J., Martin Antonio, Nicholas J Loman, Tiffany M.

, 2010 BACKGROUND: The presentation and causes of adult meningitis in South Africa have changed substantially as a result of HIV. Knowledge of aetiology and laboratory findings in patients presenting with meningitis are important in guiding management.Crede Tom, Williams, A, Thomas S Harrison, Meintjes, Graeme, Brown Yolande, Harrison Thomas S, Jarvis, Joseph, Yolande Brown, Tom Crede, Joseph N Jarvis, Jarvis, JN, Meintjes Graeme, Harrison, Thomas, Crede, Tom, Anthony Williams, Jarvis Joseph N, Harrison, Thomas S, Brown, Y, Brown, Yolande, Harrison, TS, Crede, T, Williams, Anthony, Graeme Meintjes, Williams Anthony, Meintjes, G, Jarvis, Joseph N +25 morecore +1 more sourceDeath or survival from invasive pneumococcal disease in Scotland: associations with serogroups and multilocus sequence types [PDF]
