Gallegos C, et al. - Among adults with bacterial meningitis, researchers investigated the prevalence of delayed cerebral injury and its relation to adjunctive steroids. They grouped consecutive subjects with culture proven community-acquired bacterial meningitis as those receiving or not adjunctive steroids within 4 hours. They reported delayed cerebral injury in 4.1% of adults with bacterial meningitis. Also, they observed that delayed cerebral injury was related to the use of adjunctive steroids.
