[Therapy of purulent meningitis with immunglobulins] (author's transl)]
The finding of 53% disturbances in synthesizing bacterial antibodies and 88% disturbances in opsonizing in children with purulent meningitis was the reason for therapy with immunglobulins. Intravenous Gammaglobulin (Gammavenin) was used in 26 children with purulent meningitis, 1 ml/kg/d through 3 days. The liquor cell count was in all patients 48 hours after starting of treatment 20% or less, there was no death, 2 children showed neurological defects.
