FULMINANT MENINGOCOCCAL MENINGITIS IN CHILDHOOD: CLINICAL ANALYSIS OF 120 CASES
120 cases of fulminant meningococcal meningitis in childhood admitted to our hospital were
reported with the fatality of 31.6%(38 deaths). The prognosis is influenced by the following factors: confusion
absence
of meningeal irritation
severe petechial or purpuric lesions
low blood pressure
platelet count less than 100
000/mm3. The patient under 1 yr of age and no response to the intensive therapy for & hr usually denotes a poor prognosis. However the sex distribution
seasonal variation
inhabitable;circumstance
high degree of fever
convulsions and the elevated wbc count showed no significant difference
