Abstract:
Pneumococcal meningitis is one of the most common infectious diseases of the central nervous system in pediatric period which is characterized by acute fever,unconvulsions,consciousness,in-creased intracranial pressure and meningeal irritation and cerebrospinal fluid pus changes in clinic. With the advent of antibiotics and pneumococcal vaccination,the morbidity and mortality of the disease decline signifi-cantly. But due to the appearance of drug-resistant bacteria and the relative lag of research and development speed of clinical new antibacterial drugs,it still has high mortality and morbidity which are promoting resear-ches of pathogenesis and adjuvant therapy. In this paper,researches of pathogenesis and adjuvant therapy for preumococcal meningitis were reviewed in recent years.
