Abstract:
The central nervous system and systemic complications of bacterial meningitis cause significant morbidity and mortality. This article offers insight into the clinical features, pathogenesis, and management of these complications. In many instances, the improved outcome of intervention is based on clinical suspicion and early recognition. The management of complications is evolving and is presently based mainly on supportive care.
