Introduction
Acute bacterial meningitis is a rapidly progressive bacterial infection of the meninges and subarachnoid space, that can lead to death or long-term disability. Pneumococcal meningitis, caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae remains a potentially devastating disease that carries high mortality
and morbidity rates in spite of availability of effective antibiotics, vaccination programmes and skilled acute-care facilities.
