Bacterial Meningitis: Pathogenesis, Pathophysiology, and Progress
Abstract
FIFTY years after the advent of antibiotics for clinical use, bacterial meningitis remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality. As such, it represents a unique human infectious disease, because the pathophysiologic effects of disease progression and suboptimal outcomes occur despite bacteriologic cure of the infection.1 Specifically, the mortality rate for adults who have Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis remains 20 to 30 percent,2 , 3 with neurologic morbidity affecting half of survivors.4 The incidence of persistent sensorineural hearing loss in children who survive bacterial meningitis is 10 percent (31 percent of those with S. pneumoniae are affected) — a finding with critical implications . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
