AB  - Meningitis  is  defined  as  an  inflammation  of  the  leptomeninges.  Causes  of  meningitis  are  summarized  in  Table  19-1.  Bacteria  cause  meningitis  by  invading  and  replicating  in  the  subarachnoid  space,  causing  significant  morbidity  and  mortality.  Although  viruses,  most  commonly  enteroviruses,  also  cause  meningitis,  few  children  with  viral  meningitis  suffer  any  long-term  sequelae.  Therefore,  the  focus  of  this  chapter  is  on  bacterial  meningitis.
