Abstract: | Meningitis is more likely to occur in childhood that at any other age. Preventive measures, in the form of vaccination programmes targeted at certain at-risk age groups, have drastically reduced the incidence in recent years. Early identification of symptoms remains vital in order to prevent mortality and reduce the likelihood of long-term effects. |
