Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals patterns in infective meningitis among 94 adults, highlighting correlations with treatment outcomes.

  • Viral meningitis was found to be the most common type, affecting 36.2% of patients.
  • Overall mortality rate was reported at 24.5%, with pyogenic meningitis showing the highest mortality.
  • Hyponatremia was detected in over half of the patients, significantly correlating with poorer outcomes.
  • Early empirical treatment with antimicrobials and corticosteroids improved recovery compared to delayed treatment.
