Abstrakt | Infections of the central nervous system are caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Bacterial meningitis is the clinical picture resulting from a bacterial infection and inflammation in the subarachnoid space and meninges. Bacterial meningitis is an acute and potentially life-threatening illness. It is important to recognise the syndrome early in the course of the illness and institute optimal treatment as soon as possible. This article describes the aetiology, clinical picture, diagnostic investigations and treatment of bacterial meningitis, as well as possible complications in childhood. | |
