    Quantitative C-reactive protein (CRP) was determined sequentially by nephelometry and photometry from a finger prick serum sample in 67 children with bacterial meningitis (BM) and 16 children with aseptic meningitis (AM). The initial mean CRP value of 180 mg/liter in children with BM differed significantly from the 12 mg/liter found in those with AM (P less than 0.001). In BM a slow descent instead of rapid normalization or a secondary increase in sequential CRP values were early indicators of complications during recovery, such as resistance to the antibiotic. A significant difference in the mean CRP values between uneventful and complicated courses of BM was observed from the fourth day on (P less than 0.001). The measurements obtained with nephelometry correlated reliably with the more widely available photometry (r = 0.99). Easily performed rapid CRP determinations can considerably improve the quality of care in meningitis patients, especially in those situations where facilities for performing bacterial cultures or antibiotic susceptibility testing are not available.

    Twenty-six adults with acute bacterial meningitis were enrolled in an open randomized comparative study. The organisms isolated from CSF were Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Haemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi. 13 patients (group A) were treated once daily with intravenous ceftriaxone (Rocephin). The 13 patients in group B received ampicillin or ampicillin plus chloramphenicol in 4 doses/day. The mean duration of therapy in groups A and B was 9.9 and 12.3 days, respectively. This difference in the duration of therapy was statistically significant. All patients from group A showed clinical improvement and all were bacteriologically cured. In group B only 12 patients were clinically and bacteriologically cured; 1 patient had to be withdrawn from the therapy because CSF culture remained positive after 48 h of therapy. Ceftriaxone was well tolerated in all patients; ampicillin or ampicillin plus chloramphenicol were associated with diarrhea and skin rash in 6 patients.
