Description
Summary:Bacterial purulent meningitis (BPM) was detected and treated in 63children aged from 1 month till 17 years during 2006—2010. 63,5% (40 patients) of patients were children of first three years old. In this group etiological distribution of the children was as follows: 55% were meningococcal, 17,5% were hemophilic, 2,5% were esherichiosic, 2,5% were staphylococcal, 22,5% were of unclear etiology. The peculiarities of clinics, causes and treatment of Hib — meningitis were explored in 7 children.
