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 Childhood bacterial meningitis is severe and largely preventable by vaccination. Few data on childhood bacterial meningitis in Northeast and Central Asia exist. Our aim was to determine the incidence and etiology of childhood bacterial meningitis in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. METHODS We conducted prospective, population-based, active hospital surveillance for clinical meningitis in chi...
INTRODUCTION Meningitis is a major cause of mortality in southern Africa. We aimed to describe the aetiologies and frequencies of laboratory-confirmed fungal and bacterial meningitis among adults in a South African province with an 11% HIV prevalence, over 4 years. METHODS We conducted a retrospective, observational study of secondary laboratory data, extracted on all cerebrospinal fluid (CSF...
There are many difficulties distinguishing bacterial from viral meningitis that could be reasonably solved using biomarkers. The aim of this study was to evaluate lactate, procalcitonin (PCT), ferritin, serum-CRP (C-reactive protein), and other known biomarkers in differentiating bacterial meningitis from viral meningitis in children.All children aged 28 days to 14 years with suspected meningit...
Children with cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis are frequently treated with parenteral antibiotics, but only a few have bacterial meningitis. Although some clinical prediction rules, such as bacterial meningitis score, are of well-known value, the cerebrospinal fluid white blood cells count can be the initial available information. Our aim was to establish a cutoff point of cerebrospinal fluid wh...
objective febrile convulsion is the most common benign convulsive disorder in children. meningitis is one of the most important causes of fever and convulsions, diagnosed by lumbar puncture (lp), a painful and invasive procedure much debated regarding its necessity. this study evaluates the frequency of abnormal lp findings in a group of patients, to determine whether or not unnecessary lp can...
Orientia tsutsugamushi induces vasculitis leading to symptoms of systemic organ invasion including meningitis and meningoencephalitis. We conducted a retrospective case-control study of scrub typhus patients to investigate the clinical and laboratory features of patients with scrub typhus meningitis or meningoencephalitis, and the therapeutic outcomes, and to determine the predictor factors. Ca...
Meningitis is one of the most common CNS emergencies. Aseptic meningitis is the most prevalent type of meningitis. The clinical features initially are not specific. Enteroviruses have more than 60 serotypes which are culpable for more than 85% of aseptic meningitis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a highly sensitive test for detection of viruses; therefore by using of this method, diagnosis ...
Among 139 patients with suspected bacterial meningitis in Ethiopia, 2012-2013, meningococci (19.4%) and pneumococci (12.9%) were the major disease-causing organisms. Meningococcal serogroups detected were A (n = 11), W (n = 7), C (n = 1), and X (n = 1). Affordable, multivalent meningitis vaccines for the African meningitis belt are urgently needed.
Background: Analysis of biofluids provides a unique window into the biochemical status of a living organism since the composition of a given biofluid will be modulated according to the level of function of the cells that are intimately concerned with its manufacture and secretion. One of the most successful approaches to biofluid analysis has been the application of NMR spectroscopy. Objective...
