Treatment of meningitis in a one-year-old child for a week, 'cell count did not decrease but increased'

Patient's question:

Postoperative infection of meningitis caused by meningeal bulging; Hospitalized for 47 days without improvement

Doctor's answer:

Bacterial meningitis is a serious infectious disease with high mortality and sequelae rates. Routine vaccination can prevent infection with Haemophilus influenzae. Vaccination can also provide short-term protection against certain types of meningitis and can be used during outbreaks of meningitis. Administering antibiotics to children in close contact with patients is another method to prevent the spread of bacterial meningitis.
