Hello. According to your description, purulent meningitis is a serious intracranial infection caused by any purulent bacteria. The most common pathogens are meningococci, haemophilus, and pneumococci. They mainly need to be hospitalized to identify the pathogenic bacteria. The main treatment is intravenous antibiotics for anti-inflammatory therapy. It is recommended that you be hospitalized to receive standard treatment. The prognosis of purulent meningitis depends on early diagnosis and the timely, sufficient, and rational use of antibiotics. If antibiotics are used reasonably and sufficiently in the early stage, most patients have a good prognosis. Of course, the mortality rate is very high.
