Chemoprophylaxis of meningitis caused by and may be determined by the epidemiology of transmission, the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of the organisms, and the usage of vaccines. A review of transmission in England distinguishes differences in sporadic and cluster meningococcal infections. Because of...
There are primarily two situations where the question of prophylaxis against meningococcal disease is raised, first the community epidemic and second, for close contacts of patients with meningococcal meningitis or meningococcemia.doi:10.1007/978-1-4613-4346-2_7Edmund C. Tramont...

meningitis in Nigeria were secondary cases.102Two strategies have been employed. In the first, phenoxymethyl-penicillin oramoxicillinis given as pre-emptive therapy for 7 days. The rationale for this is that most secondary cases occur in the first week after contact.103This will not affect ...
Thus meningitis and ventriculitis are the most frequent causes for mortality and morbidity in shunted patients ( 4 , 6 , 7 ). Systemic antibiotic therapy after the demonstration of the pathogenic organism and resistance test often fails. Although prophylaxis plays an important part in medicine, ...
