Abstract
The outcome of bacterial meningitis critically depends on the rapid initiation of bactericidal antibiotic therapy and adequate management of septic shock. In the main laboratory at Educational Al Hussein Hospital. antibiotics have been used to have bacteriocidal effect on bacteria and the review of empirical and specialized antibiotics for meningitis from global sources.
In bacterial meningitis, the choice of an optimum initial empirical antibiotic depends on the resistance patterns. who demonstrate the use of cephalosporin groups, penicillins wth amoxicillin , according to the age groups and the amount of dose , also treatment (specific antibiotic) according to the bacterial species that causes meningitis and explains the duration. If you do not respond to this treatment, there is an alternative, this method is specialized in the elimination of meningitis.
