Recurrent meningitis in children is unusual and usually associated with a predisposing factor like immune-deficiency disorder or cranio-spinal defect. We report a case of recurrent meningitis in association with Common Variable Immune deficiency.
Meningitis is one of the most common infectious cerebral nervous system (CNS), defined as an inflammation of the meninges. It is clinically categorized into a chronic and acute based on the acuity of symptoms. Vomiting, bulging fontanel and fever are the main symptoms in the patients with meningitis. Bacterial meningitis is a severe, potentially life-threatening infection that is associated wit...
CONTEXT Children with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pleocytosis are routinely admitted to the hospital and treated with parenteral antibiotics, although few have bacterial meningitis. We previously developed a clinical prediction rule, the Bacterial Meningitis Score, that classifies patients at very low risk of bacterial meningitis if they lack all of the following criteria: positive CSF Gram stain...
Acute bacterial meningitis is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children. To estimate the incidence of meningitis caused by all types of bacteria in Thai children under five years of age, data were collected using a rapid assessment tool (RAT) and analyzed. Clinical and laboratory data from suspected meningitis cases for a one-year period were retrospectively collected from 5 sel...
This review focuses on recent advances of topical interest regarding the diagnosis and treatment of common causes of bacterial meningitis occurring in children beyond the neonatal period. Tuberculous meningitis is beyond the scope of this review.
BACKGROUND Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate is a potential biomarker for bacterial meningitis in children. To this end, we performed a single-center retrospective cohort study of children from Sao Paulo, Brazil, with CSF pleocytosis to evaluate the ability of CSF lactate to distinguish between children with bacterial and aseptic meningitis. We determined the optimum cutoff point for CSF lactat...
OBJECTIVE To determine if, in the era after Haemophilus influenzae type b, the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) white blood cell (WBC) count can be safely used to stratify children suspected of having bacterial meningitis into low- and high-risk groups. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of CSF samples. SETTING Tertiary care pediatric center in Toronto, Ontario, between January 1, 1992, and October 1, ...
Differences in the composition of ventricular and lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) based on single pairs of samples have previously been described. We describe a patient that developed post-surgical recurrent meningitis monitored by daily biochemical and bacteriological CSF analysis, simultaneously withdrawn from lumbar space and ventricles. A 20-year-old Caucasian man was admitted to the ICU a...
The value of C reactive protein measurement in the differential diagnosis of meningitis was assessed in a population where tuberculous meningitis is prevalent. C reactive protein was measured serially with a sensitive radioimmunoassay in sera from 31 children with bacterial meningitis, 15 with tuberculous meningitis (6 with miliary tuberculosis), and 28 with viral meningitis. Concentrations of ...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate evidence-based data on adjunctive glucocorticoid therapy in central nervous system bacterial infections. DESIGN A literature review of studies, particularly controlled trials, that have evaluated dexamethasone therapy for acute bacterial meningitis and glucocorticoid therapy for tuberculous meningitis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Clinical outcomes were mortality and morbidit...
