Abstract
Description
Meningitis is a severe acute infectious disease
caused by several microorganisms, including
viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi. Fatality
rates associated with this disease can be as low
as 2% in infants and children, and as high as 20–
30% in neonates and adults. Transient or
permanent deafness, or other neurological
sequelae, arise in up to a third of survivors. Since
their advent, antimicrobial agents have had a
profound effect on the clinical course and
prognosis of meningitis
