21 Bacterial Meningitis inChildren andHearing Loss
https://t.me/medicina_free
Other presentations may be seizure, petechiae, and purpura, particularly in
meningococcal meningitis, increased intracranial pressure signs including hypertension, bradycardia, respiratory depression, focal neurologic decits, and other
systemic ndings [1, 14].
277
21.5 Diagnosis
Acute bacterial meningitis requires prompt diagnosis and optimal treatment within
1h of presentation. Antibiotics should be initiated immediately, even if a lumbar
puncture (LP) cannot be performed due to sepsis symptoms, including hypotension,
bradycardia, and respiratory failure [33]. However, blood cultures should be
obtained before antibiotics are administered to increase the likelihood that the causative pathogen will be isolated to guide subsequent antibiotic treatment and help
determine the need for antibiotic prophylaxis for patient contacts. The history
should include the type and duration of symptoms, presence of predisposing risk
factors (immunodeciency, anatomic defect, medical devices, and trauma), travel or
contact history, immunization history, and recent antibiotic use [1].
Cerebrospinal uid culture is essential in the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis
and should be obtained via LP in children with suspicion of this diagnosis unless
there is a contraindication to do so. Neuroimaging should be performed before LP
in the presence of the focal neurologic decit, papilledema, and altered level of
consciousness in the neurological examination. Lumbar puncture is contraindicated
in cases with a mass lesion due to the risk of cerebral herniation and in patients with
coagulopathy, severe thrombocytopenia, cardiopulmonary compromise, and local
site infection where the LP would be performed [1, 14, 32, 34, 35].
Cerebrospinal uid evaluation should include macroscopic and Gram stain
examination, cell count and differential, glucose and protein concentration, culture,
antimicrobial susceptibility testing of isolated microorganisms, and possibly PCR
[1, 34]. Cerebrospinal uid ndings in ABM include pleocytosis with a predominance of neutrophils, elevated CSF protein, decreased CSF glucose, and a positive
Gram stain [32, 34, 35]. Typically, CSF is clear in appearance and shows <6 white
blood cells/mm3 with no neutrophils, glucose level >45 mg/dL, and protein
level<45 mg/dL. In ABM, the appearance of CSF is usually cloudy. The typical
CSF white blood cell count (WBC) is >1000 cells/mm3 with a predominance of
neutrophils (80–95%); however, it can be lower in the early phase of ABM.The
CSF glucose level is typically low, usually <60% of a concomitantly measured
blood glucose level and usually <40mg/dL; protein level can be high as 100–500mg/
dL [32, 34]. A traumatic LP can impact the CSF cell count and protein measurements due to bloody CSF; the rst drawn tube carries the highest risk for red blood
cells (RBCs) from a traumatic LP and contamination of non-CSF bacteria.
A bacterium can be determined via Gram staining in nearly 80% of the patients
if an antibiotic has not already been administered. A positive Gram stain may help
guide antibiotherapy. The characteristic morphologic features of the common
pathogens are as follows: Gram-positive diplococci suggest S. pneumoniae,

278
https://t.me/medicina_free
gram- negative diplococci suggest N. meningitidis, and small pleomorphic gram-
negative coccobacilli suggest Hib, gram-positive cocci or coccobacilli indicate
GBS, and gram-positive rods and coccobacilli suggest L. monocytogenes [31, 34,
35]. Acute bacterial meningitis is conrmed with the isolation of bacteria from
CSF. However, prior administration of antimicrobial agents may alter CSF biochemical parameters and cell count, while CSF culture may be negative [34]. The
PCR test may identify the causative pathogen in pretreated children with suspected
bacterial meningitis [36]. Latex agglutination and immunochromatographic antigen
tests have little value in diagnosing ABM and are unavailable in many centers [32].
Neuroimaging should not be performed routinely before LP and should be
reserved for patients with severely altered mental status (Glasgow Coma Scale
score<10), papilledema, focal neurologic decit (excluding cranial nerve palsies),
CSF shunt in place, history of hydrocephalus, recent CNS trauma or neurosurgery,
severely immunocompromised status, and new-onset seizure [32]. Neuroimaging is
typically recommended for the evaluation of the complications of ABM, such as
hydrocephalus, subdural effusion, empyema, infarction, parenchymal abscess, and
ventriculitis in patients with persistent fever (>5days), new-onset fever or seizures
occurring after 48–72h despite appropriate treatment [37].
Z. Şahbudak Bal et al.
21.6 Management
Empiric antibiotic therapy should be administered, even if LP cannot be performed
in which case blood cultures should be obtained prior to antibiotic administration
[32, 34, 35]. Appropriate respiratory and hemodynamic support should be based on
disease severity. Patients are initially managed optimally in a pediatric intensive
care unit.
The empiric antibiotic treatment differs for neonates and older children. While
choosing empiric treatment, the local rate of decreased susceptibility to penicillin
and third-generation cephalosporins of S. pneumoniae should be considered.
Table21.1 summarizes the empiric therapy for community-acquired ABM in children [32].
Antibiotic treatment should be optimized for antibiotic susceptibility testing
when the culture identies a causative pathogen. Reduced susceptibility to penicillin and third-generation cephalosporins of S. pneumoniae are concerns worldwide.
Penicillin G or ampicillin should not be initiated empirically and should be reserved
for susceptible pneumococcal or meningococcal meningitis (penicillin minimum
inhibitory concentration [MIC] ≤0.06μg/mL). Cefotaxime or ceftriaxone can be
used for penicillin–nonsusceptible pneumococci (penicillin MIC >0.06μg/mL). If a
pneumococcal isolate is nonsusceptible to cefotaxime or ceftriaxone (MIC ≥1μg/
mL), vancomycin should be continued along with a third-generation cephalosporin.
Most N. meningitidis strains are susceptible to penicillin; third-generation cephalosporins would be preferred in the rare instance when an isolate has reduced susceptibility to penicillin (MIC ≥0.06μg/mL) [38]. Table21.2 summarizes the denitive
treatment and durations for bacterial pathogens causing community-acquired ABM
in children.

21.7 Hearing Loss inChildren withAcute
Bacterial Meningitis
Acute bacterial meningitis can cause short-term complications, including seizures,
focal neurological decits, brain abscesses, and long-term permanent sequelae, particularly HL, cognitive impairment, hydrocephalus, and epilepsy. Sensorineural HL
(SNHL) is a signicant long-term sequela, and hearing should be tested before discharge or within 1 month [34]. The European Society of Clinical Microbiology and
Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) recommended administering dexamethasone in all
suspected ABM cases [32]; the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) advises dexamethasone use for children 6weeks and older in Hib meningitis [39]. However, dexamethasone is not routinely recommended for S. pneumoniae-caused ABM; the AAP
advises weighing the potential benets and risks [40]. Dexamethasone should be discontinued if a pathogen other than these pathogens grew in the CSF culture [35]. A
recent study from Denmark that evaluated all children with ABM during 1998–2016
showed that nearly every one of four children developed neurological sequelae; HL
was the most common (15%) [41]. Hearing loss occurs more frequently following
pneumococcal meningitis (22–30%) than meningococcal meningitis (1–8%) [35].
Once bacteria invade the meninges and disrupt the blood–brain barrier (BBB),
through the hematogenous spread, direct extension from paranasal and dental infections, skull base fracture causing CSF leak, or direct implementation, immune activation is triggered by different pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs)
[35, 42]. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 2, 4, 5, and 9 rst recognize bacteria and Nodlike receptors (NLRs), which lead to the activation of intracellular signaling pathway factors such as nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) [35, 42]. Nuclear factor- kappa
B is a transcriptional activator of the genes that encode the pro-inammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules such as TNF-α, IL-1, IL-8, and the intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1). Tumor necrosis factor-alpha and IL-1β are released as
inactive precursors, transforming into active forms by proteases (caspase 1 [Casp]).
They are signicant inducers of NF-κB and the key molecules resulting in meningeal inammation [42]. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha and IL-1β activate proteolytic
enzymes (matrix metalloproteinase [MMP]-8, MMP-9) and oxidants (peroxynitrite); chemokines and adhesion molecules subsequently trigger leukocyte accumulation and activation of proteolytic enzymes and oxidants [35, 43]. Matrix
metalloproteinase-8 and MMP-9 cause extracellular matrix degradation and tissue
destruction; nitric oxide, superoxide, and peroxynitrite cause oxidant-induced
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) strand breakage and energy depletion lipid peroxidation that leads to loss of membrane integrity [43]. These host inammatory responses
result in vasculitis, focal ischemia, increased intracranial pressure, transmigrating
leukocytes, glial cells and astrocyte stimulation, cortical necrosis, and hippocampal
neuronal loss stemming [35, 42].
The chemokines and adhesion molecules trigger massive leukocyte accumulation into the subarachnoid space. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha and IL-1β, together
with activated leukocytes, contribute to the release of oxidants, leading to the blood
labyrinth barrier breakage and cochlea cytotoxicity. Another contributing

282
https://t.me/medicina_free
mechanism is the occlusion of the inner ear’s blood vessels due to septic emboli and
thrombus, leading to cochlear hypoxia, ischemia, and neural damage [35].
Hearing loss may develop early after infection, whereas late-onset HL can also
occur. Early detection is crucial because patients can develop cochlea ossication,
and a cochlea implant should be placed before obliteration. Furthermore, early diagnosis is essential to minimize the development of speech and language delay, balance disturbances, and behavioral disorders. Audiology assessment is recommended
for children diagnosed with conrmed ABM before discharge or within 1 month
[35, 39, 40, 44].
Unilateral or bilateral SNHL occurs in around 10% of children with
ABM.Bilateral severe or profound HL has been mainly observed in children after
S. pneumoniae meningitis (14–32%), followed by N. meningitidis (4–23%) and
H. inuenzae (20%) [33]. A 20-year invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) surveil-
lance, which included 83 children with meningitis, reported that 14% developed HL
of the 51 patients who underwent auditory assessment [45]. At the time of discharge, 31% of 161 pediatric survivors of pneumococcal meningitis had SNHL
among patients seen at eight USA children’s hospitals between 2007 and 2013 [46].
A 1-year follow-up analysis of IMD conducted in Israel determined that 7% of the
children developed HL, while half of the cases were severe [47].
In a study from Bangladesh, short-term follow-up (30–40days) determined that
33% of the children had HL, while long-term follow-up (6–24months) showed that
only 18% were permanent, which demonstrated that HL developed after pneumococcal meningitis could be reversible [48]. Roine etal. [49] also showed that HL
could be reversible and frequently improves in children with initially severe HL.The
decrease in HL in a long-term period was attributed to recovered patients and reversible HL. In contrast, some patients with normal ears or moderate impairment
became severely impaired.
The risk factors for HL after ABM were reported as underlying comorbidity, late
(illness >24h before intervention) admission, the severity of meningitis (mechanical ventilation requirement, presence of septic shock signs), raised intracranial pressure at admission, low glucose, and high protein in CSF [50].
Z. Şahbudak Bal et al.
21.7.1 Adjunctive Therapy toPrevent Hearing Loss inChildren
withAcute Bacterial Meningitis
Adjunctive therapies are recommended for reducing short- and long-term neurological sequelae of ABM.These therapies targeted ve main areas: (1) non- bacteriolytic
antibiotic use such as rifampin and daptomycin to modulate bacterial killing and the
release of bacterial products, (2) initiation of the inammatory response via host
recognition of bacteria or its products, (3) adjuvant dexamethasone to modulate the
uncontrolled inammatory response, (4) host inammatory and neurotoxic mediators inhibition, and (5) modulation of the apoptotic pathways [35].
Experimental animal models of bacterial meningitis were conducted to evaluate
TNF-α, matrix metalloproteinases, nitric oxide and antioxidants, neuroprotective
factors (melatonin and brain-derived neurotrophic factor), and other

21 Bacterial Meningitis inChildren andHearing Loss
https://t.me/medicina_free
anti- inammatory therapies (triptans) because of the signicant role of host uncontrolled inammatory response in neuronal damage; however, not yet proved and not
in clinical use [35]. In combination with cipemastat (Trocade®), a metalloproteinase
inhibitor, daptomycin, reduced neuroinammation and brain damage in the pneumococcal meningitis rat model [51]. G-protein cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2)
agonists are another potential candidate that downregulates pro-inammatory processes but did not alter brain damage in experimental pneumococcal meningitis [52].
Bacterial meningitis causes apoptotic damage to the hippocampus. Vitamin B12
lessened hippocampal damage by deactivating pro-inammatory genes in an experimental model of S. pneumoniae meningitis in infant rats [53].
283
21.7.1.1 Adjuvant Dexamethasone Therapy
In experimental models, corticosteroids reduced inammatory response and
improved outcomes. However, dexamethasone use in children is still controversial.
A meta-analysis evaluated dexamethasone adjuvant therapy in ABM included 2029
patients from ve trials of all ages and showed that dexamethasone use in ABM did
not alter mortality, severe neurological sequelae, or severe bilateral deafness; meanwhile, a nearly 5% decrease was observed in HL in survivors [54].
A recent meta-analysis of adjunctive dexamethasone use in ABM reported that
dexamethasone signicantly reduces HL compared to standard antibiotics and
severe neurological sequelae; in contrast, the mortality did not decrease [55].
The most recent Cochrane meta-analysis demonstrated that HL was reduced by
corticosteroid treatment in children with H. inuenzae meningitis [56]. In contrast,
corticosteroids did not signicantly reduce HL in ABM cases caused by pathogens
other than H. inuenzae. Corticosteroids were shown to decrease severe HL, any
HL, and short-term neurological sequelae, mainly in high-income countries but not
in low-income countries.
Meningeal inammation in the initial phase of the disease affects neuronal damage; the late presentation may lead to missing the opportunity for corticosteroids. A
recent large study from Taiwan enrolled 8083 ABM episodes and found that steroidadministered children signicantly had a more extended hospital stay, higher hospital costs, and mortality [57]. However, the study did not evaluate the subgroups
according to pathogens. A recent study showed an association between delayed
cerebral injury and steroid use in adults, and this association was attributed to effects
on cerebral blood vessels leading to vasospasm [58].
Dexamethasone should be used before or simultaneously as the rst dose of the
antibiotic(s). However, another concern is the reduced penetration of vancomycin
into the CSF by reducing meningeal inammation with dexamethasone, leading to
treatment failures [54, 55].
21.7.1.2 Adjuvant Glycerol Therapy
Meningeal inammation leads to increased vasogenic and cytotoxic brain edema,
decreasing cerebral perfusion. From this point, hyperosmotic agents have been
studied to reduce neurological damage by reducing intracranial pressure. Glycerol
is a cheap and widely available hyperosmotic agent [35].

Z. Şahbudak Bal et al.
A prospective, randomized, double-blind study comparing adjuvant dexamethasone or glycerol with placebo under 16years in Latin America demonstrated that
severe neurological sequelae were less frequently observed in glycerol and dexamethasone plus glycerol received patients than in the placebo group; however, a
signicant difference was not observed for HL [59]. The same author group evaluated hearing impairment degrees in dexamethasone and dexamethasone plus glycerol administered patients and found no signicant difference from placebo at any
threshold levels (40, 60, and 80 decibels [dB]) [60]. A smaller study evaluated glycerol and acetaminophen as adjunctive therapies in ABM contrasty and found no
effects on neurological sequelae and deafness; however, the study group primarily
consisted of pneumococcal meningitis [61]. A double-blind, randomized controlled
trial in Malawian adult patients demonstrated an increased risk of death with glycerol in adults with bacterial meningitis in Malawi’s high HIV seroprevalence setting
[62]. The most recent Cochrane meta-analysis evaluating ve studies with 922 participants on glycerol use in ABM showed a signicant decrease in HL [63]. The
comparison of glycerol and placebo showed no signicant impact on death, while
decreased neurological disability was determined.
21.8 Conclusion
Acute bacterial meningitis still causes signicant morbidity and mortality in children, particularly in low-income and sub-Saharan African meningitis belt countries.
Hearing loss may develop early after infection, but late-onset HL can also occur.
Reversible SNHL has been determined in the follow-up of children with pneumococcal meningitis. Early detection is crucial because patients can develop cochlea
ossication, and a cochlear implant should be placed before obliteration. Children
with ABM should be evaluated for HL in the hospital or within 1 month of discharge. Dexamethasone may be used in ABM caused by Hib but is not routinely
recommended for pneumococcal meningitis and should be discontinued if another
microorganism is detected in the CSF. Glycerol is cheap and widely available; however, the studies on glycerol used to prevent neurological sequela in patients with
ABM are limited and controversial.
