Abstract

Few diseases have been affected more by the advent of antimicrobial therapy than bacterial meningitis. From its recognition in 1805 to the early 20th century, bacterial meningitis was fatal. Although the introduction of antibiotics made it curable,14 morbidity and mortality from the disease remain unacceptably high. In a recent report, 61 percent of infants who survived gram-negative bacillary meningitis had developmental disabilities and neurologic sequelae.5 Similarly, in a recent review of 493 episodes of bacterial meningitis in adults, the overall case fatality rate was 25 percent.6 In this article we highlight epidemiologic trends, review principles of antibiotic pharmacokinetics, and . . .

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.
