Hospital-Based Study of the Prognostic Factors in Adult Patients with Acute Community-Acquired Bacterial Meningitis in Tokyo, Japan

Abstract

Patients with a low GCS at the initiation of antibiotic therapy and low thrombocyte counts had unfavorable outcomes. With appropriate antibiotic administration, the antibiotic-resistant bacteria were not identified as an unfavorable prognostic factor, even in an area with a high rate of antibiotic resistance.
