[Clinical and echoencephalographic data in assessing the outcome of meningococcal meningoencephalitis]

The authors made a clinical analysis of outcomes of meningococcal meningoencephalitis in 100 patients with consciousness disturbances. It was established that the outcome of the disease depended on the time of hospitalization and degree of disturbed consciousness. The dynamics of neurological symptoms and echoencephalography of brain edema is of importance in evaluation of the prognosis of meningoencephalitis.
