Abstract

Craniocerebral trauma is one of major risk factors for development of meningitis. We reviewed 30 cases of bacterial meningitis occurring in community after craniocerebral trauma. Alcohol abuse was significant risk factor occurring in trauma patients with meningitis present in 50% in our cohort (p=0.0001). The most common pathogen in posttraumatic meningitis was Str. pneumoniae (90% vs. 33.8%, p=0.0001). However mortality was very low, only 5% probably because of early diagnosis and treatment of patients at risk for bacterial meningitis but neurologic sequellea were significantly more common (p=0.00001) in patients after craniocerebral trauma.

Abstract

Meningitis associated with bacteremia is rare. Bacteremic form of meningitis occurred in 28 of 201 cases of community acquired meningitis (14%) in Slovakia within last 17 years. Bacteremic meningitis was associated with diabetes (21.4% vs. 7.5%, p=0.02) and with higher treatment failures (32.1% vs. 9.5%, p=0.01) and higher mortality (25% vs. 12.4%, NS). In univariate analysis comparing 28 cases of bacteremic community acquired bacterial meningitis (BCBM) to all CBM, no significant risk factor concerning underlying disease (cancer, ENT infection, alcohol abuses, trauma, splenectomy, etc.) or etiology was observed apart of diabetes mellitus, which was more common among bacteremic meningitis (21.4% vs. 7.5%, p=0.02). Mortality (25% vs. 12.4%, NS) insignificantly but therapy failure (32.1% vs. 9.5%, p=0.01) was significantly more frequently observed among meningitis with bacteremia. N. meningitis was the commonest causative agent (8 of 28 cases) followed by Str. pneumoniae (6), gram-negative bacteria (6), S. aureus (4) and H. influenzae (2).

Abstract

Meningitis after artificial implants in 60 children, mainly after foreign body infections (FBI) was caused more frequently by coagulase negative staphylococci and Ps. aeruginosa than other organisms and was significantly associated with perinatal trauma, hydrocephalus, haemorrhage or VLBW and had more neurologic sequels despite mortality was similar to other nosocomial meningitis.

Abstract

Two hundred-sixty-one (261) cases of cerebral malaria within last 8 years from 3 tropical clinics in South Sudan were analyzed. Coma was present at 79.8% and convulsions at 25.6%. However 90.5% of children were cured. Commonest antimalarial drugs used were intravenous quinine, clindamycin, artesunate and artemeter.
