National Bacterial Meningitis Study

December 22, 2022 updated by: Association Clinique Thérapeutique Infantile du val de Marne

National Observatory of Bacterial Meningitis in Children and Newborns

Bacterial meningitis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in childhood. Antibiotic treatment recommendations are based on epidemiological and susceptibility data. The epidemiology of bacterialméningitis has changed in recent years, mainly owing to widespread use of different conjugate vaccines. The aim of this prospective national survey is to describe epidemiology of bacteria implicated in bacterial meningitis in children.
