Meningitis is one of the most devastating central nervous infections in infants, children, and adults. Time is of the essence when dealing with these patients; early treatment improves not only chances for survival but the neurological outcome as well. Meningitis, a new volume in the 100 Maxims in Neurology series, offers practitioners 100 integral principles to help them in the diagnosis, treatment, and pathophysiology of the disease. This new book, unique in its concise yet complete approach, covers all forms of meningitis in two main sections. The first provides a concise, up-to-date review of the diagnosis and management of bacterial meningitis and the possible neurological complications which accompany this condition. The second part is dedicated to infectious and non-infectious aseptic meningitis, fungal, tuberculous, syphilitic, and carcinomatous meningitis.

The 100 maxims contained in this practical review will be invaluable to neurologists, neurosurgeons, pediatricians, and infectious disease specialists. ... Read more
