Abstract Background The internet has made significant contributions towards health education. Analyzing the pattern of online behavior regarding meningitis and vaccinations may be worthwhile. It is hypothesized that search patterns in are correlated with its number cases related vaccines. Methods This was an infodemiological study determined relationship among interest meningitis, worldwide ass...
Neonatal meningococcal meningitis is very rare; among the existing 13 serogroups of Neisseria meningitidis, serogroups B, C and Y have been reported in neonatal meningococcal meningitis [1-3]. Here we report isolation of N. meningitidis serogroup Y from the cerebrospinal fluid of a neonate which to the best of our knowledge is the first report from India. This could alert the clinicians to keep...
BACKGROUND In addition to frequent epidemics of group A meningococcal disease, endemic bacterial meningitis due mostly to Neisseria meningitidis, pneumococcus, and Haemophilus influenzae type b is a serious problem in sub-Saharan Africa. The improved ability to identify the etiologic agent in cases of bacterial meningitis will facilitate more rapid administration of precise therapy. METHODS T...
The pattern of epidemic meningococcal disease in the African meningitis belt may be influenced by the background level of population immunity but this has been measured infrequently. A standardised enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for measuring meningococcal serogroup A IgG antibodies was established at five centres within the meningitis belt. Antibody concentrations were then measured...
BACKGROUND Bacterial meningitis is associated with significant burden in Brazil. In 2010, both 10-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and meningococcal capsular group C conjugate vaccine were introduced into the routine vaccination schedule. Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine was previously introduced in 1999. This study presents trends in demographics, microbiological characteristics and ...
The case is described of an 18-year-old schoolboy who developed pericarditis during the course of meningococcal meningitis; he had evidence of a preceding chronic meningococcaemia. Good recovery followed on systemic antibiotics only. The pericarditis was probably a direct septic complication of meningococcal meningitis.
In the African meningitis belt the importance of endemic meningitis is not as well recognized as that of epidemics of meningococcal meningitis that occur from time to time. Using retrospective surveillance, we identified a total of 7078 cases of laboratory-diagnosed bacterial meningitis in Niamey, Niger, from 1981 to 1996. The majority (57.7%) were caused by Neisseria meningitidis, followed by ...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate cognitive outcome in adult survivors of bacterial meningitis. METHODS Data from three prospective multicentre studies were pooled and reanalysed, involving 155 adults surviving bacterial meningitis (79 after pneumococcal and 76 after meningococcal meningitis) and 72 healthy controls. RESULTS Cognitive impairment was found in 32% of patients and this proportion was simi...
Background & Aims: Neisseria meningitidis is bacteria fastidious, and the main causes of meningitis and acute sepsis. Appropriate treatment depends on accurate and timely diagnosis. This study aimed to identify Neisseria meningitidis infection in samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in patients with suspected meningitis. Methods: In this study, 198 samples of cerebrospinal fluid of patients wit...
The use of dexamethasone in the management of bacterial meningitis in adults remains controversial. This report illustrates the case of a 27-year-old male with severe meningococcal meningitis and meningococcemia who completely recovered after receiving antibiotics and dexamethasone. In adults with suspected bacterial meningitis, especially in high risk cases, the adjunctive use of dexamethasone...
