Background

Meningitis is a clinical syndrome characterized by infl ammation of the meninges. Clinically, this medical condition manifests with meningeal symptoms (eg, headache, nuchal rigidity, photophobia) and an increased number of white blood cells in the cerebrospinal fl uid (CSF). Depending on the duration of symptoms, meningitis may be classifi ed as acute or chronic. Acute bacterial meningitis denotes a bacterial cause of this syndrome. Depending on the specific bacterial cause, the syndrome may be called, for example, Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis, Neisseria meningitis, or Haemophilus influenzae meningitis.
