Active clinical trials for "Meningitis"

Meningitis is the development of an inflammatory reaction in the meningeal space, most often of infectious origin. Many pathogens can cause meningitis, the severity of which varies greatly. Patients presenting with a febrile meningeal syndrome are most often managed in the emergency room, where the challenge for physicians is to quickly differentiate bacterial and viral meningitis. Viral meningitis is the most common, with enterovirus meningitis having a classically excellent prognosis. Bacterial meningitis is less frequent but more serious.The current public health objective is to save antibiotics. Investigator hypothesizes that the BMS score can be used to exclude bacterial meningitis in the emergency department in an adult European population of patients with suspected bacterial meningitis.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether deficiency of Vitamin D has association with outcomes of children with bacterial meningitis.
