In an attempt to determine the epidemiology of meningococcal diseases in Sokoto, Nigeria, nasopharyngeal carriage of meningococcus was studied among the groups at the greatest risk of the disease, i.e. children and young adults. Of 726 subjects sampled, 45 (6.2%) carried meningococcus. Sixteen (35.6%) of the 45 isolates belonged to serogroup B. Others were as follows: group A, 8 (17.8%), C, 5 (11.1%), D, 1 (2.2%) and non-groupable 11 (24.4%). Clinical cases encountered during the period were caused by serogroups A (5, 62.5%) and C (3, 37.5%). A male:female carriage ratio of 1.2:1 was recorded for the potential epidemic serogroups, A and C (chi2 = 1.0091; p>0.05), while the clinical case ratio for the genders was 1.8:1 (chi = 16.1619; p<0.001). The 5-9-y-old age group carried meningococci more frequently (8.5%) than other age brackets, and also registered the highest incidence (46.5%) of the cases. Closeness of contact with a clinical case increased the carriage of the strain of the case (chi2 = 33.3940; p<0.001). Rural dwellers carried meningococcus more frequently than urban dwellers (chi2 = 9.5591; p<0.05). The season had no consistent influence on carriage rates, even though it significantly influenced the outbreaks of the disease. Mass vaccination with polysaccharide vaccine and improved living conditions appear to be the most practical ways to control meningococcal diseases in Africa. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether an association exists between passive exposure to tobacco smoke and bacterial meningitis in childhood, in an Australian population. METHODOLOGY: A retrospective, case-controlled telephone survey of the parents of 71 children admitted to the Women's and Children's Hospital, North Adelaide, with bacterial meningitis between 1990 and 1999. RESULTS: The annual incidence of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) meningitis decreased significantly during the study period (11.0 cases per year 1991-93 and 1.5 cases per year 1994-99, Fisher's exact test; P < 0.001) whilst pneumococcal cases significantly increased (2.3 cases per year 1991-93 and 4.9 cases per year 1994-99, Fisher's exact test; P < 0.001). Although comparable numbers of cases and controls came from smoking families (41% vs 45%), more cases came from bi-parental smoking households (17% vs 8%; odds ratio (OR) = 2.20, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.77-6.24) and cases were more likely to live in households where parents smoked inside (27% vs 13%; OR 2.51, 95% CI 1.05-6.03). In households where parents smoked, children who had had meningitis were significantly more likely to have parents who smoked inside the house, than children who had not had meningitis (66% vs 28%, Fisher's exact test; P = 0.005). CONCLUSION: This study suggests there may be an association between high levels of passive exposure to tobacco smoke and bacterial meningitis in Australian children. A study with larger numbers of affected children which quantifies passive exposure to tobacco smoke is needed to determine the strength of this association. 相似文献

-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (-MSH) has potent anti-inflammatory effects in several experimental models of inflammation. It inhibits both the actions and production of proinflammatory cytokines and neutrophil migration. We investigated whether -MSH in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) increases during the acute stage in patients with bacterial and aseptic meningitis by measuring -MSH in CSF via radioimmunoassay. The -MSH concentrations in CSF from the children with bacterial meningitis who survived (n = 8), those with aseptic meningitis (n = 16), and the control subjects (n = 23) were all below the detection limit. However, CSF -MSH was elevated in four of the five children with bacterial meningitis who had neurological sequelae. We speculate that elevated -MSH levels in CSF during acute bacterial meningitis reflect negative feedback in response to severe inflammation associated with neurological sequelae induced by proinflammatory cytokines. Conclusion: CSF -MSH is elevated in children with severe bacterial meningitis who had neurological sequelae. 相似文献

Background: Bacterial meningitis is a serious infection with high morbidity and a significant risk for neurological and functional sequelae. The purpose of this study was to assess children and teenagers with a history of bacterial meningitis for functional and behavioral problems. Methods: Thirty children and teenagers who suffered bacterial meningitis beyond the age of 6 months were compared against 30 healthy controls for functional and behavioral problems. Both groups were assessed using the Child Behavior Checklist by Achenbach for abilities and behavioral problems. Results: No significant difference was found between the two groups. Conclusion: School‐aged survivors of bacterial meningitis beyond the first 6 months of life have a very good prognosis with regards to competence and behavior. 相似文献

From January 1988 to November 1992, 107 (3.5%) of 3074 postneonatal children admitted to the Children's Emergency Room, University of Maiduguri Tcaching Hospital, Nigeria. had sporadic pyogenic meningitis; 66 (61.7%) were aged ≤12 months. Streptococcus pneunioniue. Neisseria meningitidis and Huemophilus influenae together were responsiblc for 77.3% (58) of 75 culture-proven cases, 13.4% (10) had Enterobactcriaceae, 5.3%) (4) had Stuphylococcus aureus and 4% (3) untyped α-haemolytic streptococci. Fifty percent of 62 bacteria were resistant to ampicillin, 47.2% of 36 to penicillin and 10.7% of 56 to chloramphenicol; none of 21 bacteria was simultaneously resistant to all three antibiotics. Up until 1992. we havc encountered treatment failure with a regimen containing chloramphenicol in only 2 of 53 patients; the 2 patients had coliform meningitis. Nun-meningococcal bacteria are an important cause of sporadic pyogenic meningitis in sub-Saharan Nigeria and chloramphenicol is the most appropriate initial drug of choice at the present time for the management of sporadic meningitis. 相似文献

Ceftriaxone (RO 13-9904) has only recently been introduced in Benghazi and many parts of the word. We determined itsin vitro antibacterial activity against the primary aetiological agents of childhood meningitis in Benghazi, that included eighteen
(23.3%) strains ofH. influenzas, 17 (22.1%) ofStr. pneumoniae and 1 (1.3%) ofN. meningitidis isolated from 77 cases of acute purulent meningitis above the age of neonatal period. All strains ofH. influenzae. Str. pneumoniae andN. meningitidis were sensitive to ceftriaxone and showed wide zones of inhibition by the disc diffusion technique of Kirby-Bauer. Ampicillin
and chloramphenicol resistance was observed forH. influenzae (23% and 11% respectively), andStr. pneumoniae (12% and 0% respectively), in addition, 18% of strains ofStr. pneumoniae showed resistance to penicillin. The broad spectrum activity of ceftriaxone has been confirmed for our locality and this
finding, together with its exceptionally long half-life, excellent penetration into the C.S.F. and ease of administration
(single daily dose) warrants it as the drug of choice in empherical treatment of cases of acute bacterial meningitis in children
in Benghazi and in cases where resistance to ampicillin and chloramphenicol are found on subsequent testing. 相似文献

Objective To study the long-term neurological and developmental outcome and the clinical and laboratory predictors of sequelae in children
with acute bacterial meningitis (ABM).
Methods Detailed clinical and demographic data was retrieved from the medical records of study children. Subsequently they were followed
up for a minimum of 12 months after discharge for development, neurological and hearing assessment. All sequelae were identified
and divided into minor or major. For analysis data was divided into 2 groups those with sequelae and without sequelae at follow-up.
Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 10.00 and Epi Info version 2000.
Results 61 boys and 19 girls, a mean age of 31.4±41.9 months at the time of ABM, were included in the study. Of these 62.5% children
were infants. Mean age at follow-up was 58.6 ± 47.2 months. Sequelae were observed in 32 (40%) children (8 (10%) minor and
24 (30%) major). Mean social quotient at follow-up was 92.8 ± 32.6. Developmentally 22 (37.9%) children were normal and 20
(34.5%) had global delay. Seizures (P=0.015), cranial nerve palsy (P=0.0065), abnormal deep tendon reflexes (P=0.002), Glasgow
coma scale score (GCS) < 8 (P = 0.044) at admission, a CSF culture positive for bacteria and abnormal findings on ultrasonography
or computed tomography of head at admission had significant association with sequelae at follow-up. All children (7/7) who
had infarct on CT scan (P=0.001) and 12 (80%) of 15 patients who had hydrocephalus (OR-9.0, 95% Cl-2.03-45.6, P=0.001) diagnosed
on CT scan developed severe sequelae. On multiple regressions GCS score <8, presence of cranial nerve palsy and abnormal deep
tendon reflexes were independent predictors of sequelae.
Conclusion Neurological and audiological sequelae and global developmental delay may be seen in about one third of survivors of bacterial
meningitis. GCS score <8, presence of infarct or cranial nerve palsy, or hydrocephalous on CT/ultrasound at admission may
help in identification of children most likely to need long term follow up and rehabilitation. 相似文献

Objective : Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is produced in monocytes and vascular endothelial cells in response to stimulation with bacteria or
lipopolysaccharides, and is released from these cells into blood stream or tissue fluid.Methods Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of interleukin-8 in 56 children with nonbacterial, bacterial and tuberculous meningitis
(TBM), and in 15 control subjects were analyzed to evaluate the involvement of this cytokine in the pathogenesis acute bacterial
meningitis and their discriminative value between different etiologies of meningitis. The kinetics of IL-8 concentrations
during the course of bacterial meningitis was also evaluated in patients. IL-8 levels were significantly higher in bacterial
and TBM than in aseptic meningitis and in control subjects (p<0.0001).Results: There was no difference in the levels of IL-8 between the non-bacterial meningitis and control groups. The analysis of the
kinetics of production of IL-8 in patients with bacterial meningitis showed that the SSF concentrations of this cytokine decreased
to undetectable values in recovery stage. Conversely in patients with TBM the concentrations of IL-8 were elevated in two
weeks after beginning the specific treatment.Conclusion : The results suggest that determining IL-8 levels may be useful in the differential diagnosis. 相似文献

Objective: To identify causative bacteria from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of children with miningits and analyse various clinical and
laboratory parameters.Methods: Over a 20 month period, September 1994 to April 1996, one hundred episodes of acute bacterial meningitis in children aged
1 month–12 years were studied in a tertiary urban hospital in South India. Organisms were isolated from the cerebrospinal
fluid (CSF) in 35% of cases. Among infants and children, the two major pathogens wereH. influenzae (17%) andS.pneumoniae (12%).Results: The illness at presentation was mild in 13% and severe in 36% of cases. The association of subdural effusion in children
with Salmonella Gp B meningitis merits attention. The overall case fatality rate was 25%.S.pneumoniae had a higher case fatality rate than Salmonella Gp B andH.influenzae (50% vs 17% vs 12%). All the three infants below 3 months of age withS.pneumoniae meningitis died. On analysis of selected clinical and laboratory features by discriminant analysis, CSF culture was the significant
(P=0.02) variable in relation to outcome. In pneumococcal meningitis, CSF WBC count was a highly significant variable in relation
to outcome (Wilk’s Lambda 0.15, F=24.64, P=0.0002).Conclusion: Prevention of infections due toH.influenzae andS.pneumoniae should be given higher priority. 相似文献
