BACKGROUND Increased levels of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) 14-3-3 proteins have been reported in acute bacterial meningitis. We tested the hypothesis that CSF 14-3-3 protein levels are substantially increased in acute bacterial meningitis and decreased after anti-microbial therapy, and that CSF 14-3-3 protein levels can predict treatment outcomes. METHODS We examined serial pan-CSF 14-3-3 (14-3...
bacterial meningitis after spinal and epidural anesthesia is a very rare but serious complication. we report a case of meningitis developing a number of hours after a spinal block for caesarean section. no organism was grown but the csf pattern was suggestive of bacterial meningitis. severe neurological sequelae were present after three months of hospitalization. meningitis is a serious complic...
recurrent bacterial meningitis is not a common disease and makes physicians seek underlying predisposing factors which can result from anatomic anomalies or immunodeficiency. in this paper we present a boy with recurrent bacterial meningitis with the history of trauma and sensorineural hearing loss. mondini dysplasia was demonstrated with computed homographic scans (ct-scan) of temporal bones.
AIM To determine whether intellectual and cognitive impairments observed seven years following early childhood bacterial meningitis persist into adolescence. METHODS Blinded neuropsychological, auditory, and behaviour assessments were conducted in 109 (69%) subjects from an original cohort of 158 children, seven and 12 years after their meningitis, and in 96 controls. RESULTS Meningitis sub...
Background and Aims: Since the epidemiological, clinical and experimental characteristics of meningitis are different for various locations, this study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of meningitis patients admitted to hospitals of Yazd in the 2009 to 2013. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional and descriptive study, all 261 patients with meningitis were considered ...
The organotrophic functions of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) have been the subject of several studies. In the more recent studies, this function has been reported in the brain. In the present study, we have measured the levels of HGF in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and sera from 78 patients divided into 6 different groups according to central nervous system (CNS) infection and control. Quanti...
Meningitis is an infection of the membranes (meninges) surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis is usually of multiple etiology-bacterial, fungal or viral yet bacteria remain the common etiological agent (Reid & Fallon, 1992). Meningitis can be acute, with a quick onset of symptoms, or chronic, lasting a month or more, or can be mild or aseptic, but the emphasis should be on identifica...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Bacterial meningitis is a common medical condition in Qatar. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics of bacterial meningitis, the frequency of each pathogen, and its sensitivity to antibiotics and risk factors for death. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study was conducted at Hamad General Hospital between January 1, 2009, and Decemb...
BACKGROUND Scoring systems in critical care patients are essential for predicting of the patient outcome and evaluating the therapy. In this study, we determined the value of the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II), Simplified Acute Physiology Score II (SAPS II), Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scoring systems in the prediction o...
