Abstract
A
ppropriate diagnosis and early antibiotic treatment of bacterial meningitis reduce the risk of dying from meningitis to below 15%, although the risk remains higher among young infants and the elderly. It is also very important to differentiate between acute bacterial meningitis (ABM) and acute viral meningitis (AVM) which is the most common type of meningitis that does not require antibiotics and is usually of better prognosis (Guiddir et al., 2014).
