- W4385296089 abstract "Background: Bacterial meningitis is a major public health problem worldwide due to its severity. It is a vaccine-preventable disease. Methodology: It was a retrospective descriptive study conducted at the Pediatric Teaching Hospital of Bangui from June 2019 to May 2021. Children aged 1 month to 15 years hospitalized for bacterial meningitis were included in the study. Data were entered and analyzed using Stata/IC version 16.1. Results: Of 2490 patients hospitalized during the study period, 122 (4.9%) had bacterial meningitis. The patients were male in 54.92% of cases with a sex ratio of 1.21. The mean age was 35.95 months ± 49.16. Most of the patients (84.42%) came directly from home. The average consultation delay was 3.4 days ± 2.6. The vaccination coverage was 56.55%. The CSF study isolated germs from 24 patients (19.67%), the main ones being S. pneumoniae (75%) and H. influenzae (16.67%). Ceftriaxone was prescribed alone or in combination in all cases as first-line treatment. The average duration of antibiotic therapy was 8.95 days. The mortality rate was 27.87% and 12.30 % of patients had sequelae. Conclusion: Bacterial meningitis is common in Bangui and still poses a public health problem despite the introduction of new vaccines in the EPI. Improving vaccination coverage and raising awareness for early consultation could improve the situation." @default.
