Abstract

Authors present clinical and epidemiological characterization of the 108 patients with pneumococcal meningitis of the age from 6 months to 14 years old. The data analysis showed that pneumococcal meningitis is characterized with severity and complications. It was also observed that the role of S. pneumoniae in etiology of the acute bacterial meningitis has increased for the children in the last years. The use of rapid immunochromatographic test along with cultural methods increases the detection of the etiology of bacterial meningitis in children.
