Abstract :

Meningitis caused by bacteria is a medical emergency. All doctors who offer acute medical treatment must have a thorough awareness of the management priorities for a patient suspected of having meningitis during the first hour. These include getting blood cultures, doing a lumbar puncture, and commencing appropriate therapy while minimizing potentially hazardous delays, such as those caused by delaying treatment until after neuroimaging is conducted. And to recognize the most common pathogen which will help to start empirical therapy, we have conducted a search through biomedical database for all relevant studies that were published till the middle of 2022.
