Educational Gaps
1. The epidemiology of bacterial meningitis in children is changing.
2. Routine neuroimaging is not necessary for the initial medical
evaluation of children with suspected bacterial meningitis who do not
have clinical signs of brain herniation.
Objectives After completing this article, the reader should be able to:
1. Describe the causes, clinical manifestations, and general approach to
the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of the different types of
meningitis in children of various ages.
2. Understand the indications for neuroimaging, adjunctive
corticosteroids, and repeat lumbar puncture in children with bacterial
meningitis.
3. Recognize the complications and sequelae of bacterial meningitis in
children.
INTRODUCTION
Bacterial meningitis is a severe, life-threatening infection of the central nervous
system that requires immediate medical attention. Even with appropriate treat-
ment, morbidity and mortality can be substantial. It is essential for clinicians to
recognize the clinical signs and symptoms of meningitis and understand its
management and prevention. The focus of this review is acute bacterial meningitis
in children, including its causes in different age groups, epidemiology, clinical
features, diagnosis, treatment, and sequelae.
ETIOLOGY AND EPIDEMIOLOGY
Acute Bacterial Meningitis
Acute bacterial meningitis has a relatively rapid onset of symptoms, and routine
laboratory techniques can usually identify the pathogen. The most common
causes have been Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis, Haemophilus
influenzae type b (Hib), group B Streptococcus (GBS), and Listeria monocytogenes AUTHOR DISCLOSURE Dr Swanson has
disclosed that he has a research grant from
