There has been no signicant change in antibiotic options for PM treatment over the years. Even in the best-case scenario, in which effective antibiotics are used at appropriate doses and intervals without delay, PM remains a problem due to its high mortality and frequency of causing permanent problems.
28.7 Pneumococcal Meningitis andHearing Loss
Pneumococcal meningitis has a higher HL rate than meningitides caused by other leading agents. Particularly since the introduction of the conjugate Hib vaccine and the subsequent decline in Hib-induced meningitis cases, PM has become the pri­mary cause of HL.In a study conducted before widespread Hib vaccination, the prevalence of HL following Hib meningitis was 34% [66]. In comparison, the prev­alence of HL after PM was 30%, and in this study, PM was the leading cause of HL in children younger than 12months. Hearing loss is a common complication of PM, occurring in up to 54% of cases [67].
The study by Worsøe etal. [67] detected some cases of HL during follow-up, in which the initial hearing tests performed at the end of PM treatment were normal. Ears may be affected unilaterally or bilaterally, ranging from mild HL to total deaf­ness. The severity of clinical ndings, the CSF characteristics, the high concentra­tion of bacteria in CSF, the delay in initiating appropriate treatment, and the presence of concurrent otitis were determined as risk factors for developing HL [67]. However, another theory argues that effective and timely treatment cannot prevent HL since the damage that results in HL occurs early in the process [12].

28.7.1 The Architecture andPhysiology ofHearing
Sound is mechanically conveyed to the inner ear by increasing intensity through the outer and middle ears. The inner ear is where sound is processed neurally. When PM impacts tissues in the inner ear, HL develops. The cochlea, the most critical inner ear component, is a tubular structure that rotates 2.75 times around the modiolus, a cone-shaped bone. Two membrane structures split it into three chambers. In the upper and lower chambers, perilymph uid lls the scala vestibuli and scala tym­pani. The scala media is lled with endolymph uid not connected directly to the chambers. The densities, electrolyte levels, and electrical charges of perilymph and endolymph uids differ. The cochlea is tonotopically structured; the basal portion is responsive to high-frequency sounds, while the apical part is more sensitive to low­frequency sounds.
The organ of Corti is a spiral-shaped structure that extends beyond the cochlea’s basal membrane, which is equipped with hearing receptors. Four rows of hair cells have hearing receptors. The rst three rows are called outer hair cells, and the fourth-row inner hair cells. In particular, damage to the outer hair cells results in sensorineural HL (SNHL). Hearing loss following meningitis is most noticeable in the high-frequency ranges and is anatomically tied to the cochlea’s basal region.
Although it is unknown how bacteria, proinammatory cytokines, or bacterial products reach the inner ear during meningitis, dissemination from the CSF, through the bloodstream, or the eighth nerve may be possible [68]. Purulent labyrinthitis results from infection spreading to the cochlear canal, and over time, the structure of the membranous labyrinth becomes brous, resulting in HL.
28.7.2 Pneumococci andHearing Loss
Animal studies showed that outer hair cells are more susceptible to pneumococci; their destruction increases in direct proportion to bacterial density and contact time [69]. Proinammatory cytokines, whose levels increase in direct proportion to bac­terial density, primarily affect outer hair cells and cause HL [68, 69]. Inner hair cells are more resistant to pneumococci’s direct impacts. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha is the most potent ototoxic cytokine and directly attacks hair cells [69]. In CSF, TNF-α levels have been associated with the rate of long-term HL in patients with acute PM [68].
Pneumolysin toxin is directly associated with HL [69]. As demonstrated in ani­mal studies, HL is considerably reduced in meningitis caused by pneumococci that cannot produce pneumolysin [69]. Pneumolysin has different effects on different structures depending on the dose. While it affects inner hair cells at low concentra­tions, it signicantly affects outer hair cells at high concentrations. Its effect on outer hair cells is also dose-dependent [68]. Pneumolysin has a lesser effect on outer hair cells placed apically [68, 69]. Pneumolysin damages inner and outer hair cells; the basal region and middle part of the hair cells are more sensitive to the toxin. Being more susceptible of the regions responsible for high-frequency processing

sounds to damage explains why post-meningitis HL is more pronounced in high­frequency sounds [68].
Because nitric oxide and oxygen radicals, and the cytokines secreted or released during acute infection, are similarly ototoxic, it was postulated that the apical and basal regions are affected differently due to their varied antioxidant production capacities [68].
In summary, increased bacterial density, proinammatory cytokines, oxygen and nitrogen radicals, and bacterial toxins contribute to an increased risk of HL in PM.Concurrent otitis is identied as a risk factor [68]. Hearing loss is believed to occur in the context of otitis due to the effect of toxins on the cochlea, not the bac­teria themselves [70].
Bacteria that enter the cochlear canal via the subarachnoid space reach the peri­lymph uid and produce suppurative labyrinthitis histologically [71]. Histopathology of the acute period reveals the breakdown of the labyrinth–blood barrier and the destruction of the spiral ganglion and cochlear cells. In contrast, the long-term period reveals brotic alterations in the perilymphatic area [72]. Hearing loss neces­sitating cochlear implant treatment occurs in 5% of instances following PM [73]. The implant is only helpful if sufcient healthy neurons exist in the cochlea. As a result, therapy techniques that protect spiral ganglion cells might be benecial in the treatment of PM [72, 73].
All children diagnosed with acute bacterial meningitis should be examined for HL in the early stages. Hearing tests should be performed, ideally before hospital discharge, and follow-up should be established for cases with any documented HL.

28.7.3 Unresolved Issue
Dexamethasone is used in the treatment of bacterial meningitis to reduce inamma­tion because the severity of inammation in the subarachnoid space is linked to mortality and long-term consequences [74]. Although steroids are commonly used in treatment, there is still scarce scientic evidence that they improve survival or lessen neurological damage [74, 75]. Historically, steroid usage in treating bacterial meningitis did not diminish death, HL, or the development of other irreversible neurological disorders, according to meta-analyses published in the late 1980s [76]. However, subgroup analyses revealed that when given before or simultaneously with antibiotic treatment, steroid use reduces HL, particularly in children with Hib meningitis [76, 77]. Dexamethasone treatment was not benecial in a randomized controlled trial on the pediatric age, in which 40% of the cases were PM [46].
On the other hand, a 2015 Cochrane review concluded that dexamethasone treat­ment successfully reduced HL and neurological sequelae in patients with acute bac­terial meningitis in high-income countries but was ineffective in others [78]. One possible explanation for this disparity is that the chances of obtaining appropriate therapy during the early stages of the disease vary signicantly between countries. The effect of corticosteroids on mortality could not be established in this review.

Dexamethasone has been shown to protect against severe HL only when given early in the course of bacterial meningitis [78, 79].
Due to the subject’s uncertainties, although dexamethasone is still routinely used in clinical practice, its use in compliance with recommendations is extremely low. In addition, some discrepancies exist in the recommendations of the clinical prac­tice guides. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends dexametha­sone for children aged 6weeks and older after considering the benets and risks and making a case-by-case decision, but this is not a standard recommendation [15]. Sufcient evidence does not exist to support dexamethasone use for neonatal men­ingitis. The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) recommends dexameth­asone for adults with bacterial meningitis [80].
Regarding PM, the rise in pneumococci resistant to third-generation cephalospo­rins and hence the need for empiric treatment with vancomycin has given a new dimension to the problem. Vancomycin has limited penetration into the CSF, and its transmission into the CSF rises when meningeal permeability increases during men­ingitis [80]. Vancomycin may not reach an effective concentration in the subarach­noid space due to the decreased permeability of the meninges caused by dexamethasone. However, scientic evidence could not substantiate this hypothesis [80, 81].
Along with the unproven clinical benet, the potential side effects of dexametha­sone should be considered. More caution should be taken in the assessment of hos­pitalized patients treated with dexamethasone, as clinical ndings may be suppressed by dexamethasone.
In summary, dexamethasone use in treating children with PM should be deter­mined on a case-by-case basis, with careful monitoring of clinical and laboratory ndings in treated cases. Table28.3 shows the recommended dexamethasone dose and duration of use [65].

28.7.4 New Treatment Approaches: Experimental Treatments
Early and effective treatment cannot signicantly reduce the frequency of HL and other neurological problems in children with PM.On the other hand, the develop­ment of cell-tissue damage resulting in HL during the early stages of meningitis is related to the host’s inammatory response rather than the bacteria itself. So, treat­ment research has focused on this direction. Although dexamethasone is an effective anti-inammatory, it did not act as well as predicted, which prompted the quest for other treatments.
As known, bacterial cell wall components produced from fast bacterial death induced by antibiotic therapy exhibit antigenic features and bind to TLRs. The majority of TLRs are intracellularly attached via the MyD88 protein. The activation of NF-kB by MyD88 signals increases proinammatory cytokine levels and cell damage [82]. New treatment approaches aim to stop or slow down this process at any point.

Numerous therapy combinations have been investigated in trials to control inam­mation by lowering the elevated antigen load. In animal trials, positive results were observed when third-generation cephalosporins that cause bacterial lysis were com­bined with non-bacteriolytic antibiotics [8385]. Daptomycin is the most extensively investigated antibiotic in this eld, as it is efcient against cephalosporin- resistant pneumococci. A study comparing ceftriaxone and daptomycin monotherapies deter­mined that sterilization of CSF was faster with daptomycin, caused less inamma­tion during the treatment phase, and caused less cortical brain damage [86]. A comparable study demonstrated that daptomycin therapy protects against cognitive and learning function damage [84]. In another experimental study, when daptomycin and anti-inammatory doxycycline were added to ceftriaxone treatment, cortical necrosis was reduced, inammatory cytokines decreased signicantly in CSF, and HL was also reduced in the evaluation at the end of third weeks [85].
When matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors were administered in conjunction with non-bacteriolytic antibiotics, TNF-a, IL-1, IL-6, and IL-10 levels decreased signi­cantly in the groups receiving adjuvant medication, while learning and cognitive abilities improved and HL decreased [87]. Additionally, it is well established that HL is reduced when antioxidant medication is used with conventional antibiotic therapy to counteract the harmful action of oxygen and nitrogen radicals [88]. However, this strategy is still in its infancy and has not yet found a home in clinical practice [88].
Animal trials have examined various anti-inammatory therapeutic alternatives, such as antioxidant medicines [89]. Metformin was the subject of one of the most recent investigations. In a mouse experiment, metformin administration decreased inammatory cytokine and nitric oxide levels in CSF and astroglial cell cultures [88]. Mice treated with metformin plus ceftriaxone had reduced cortical necrosis and HL on a follow-up hearing test. Another property of metformin is that it is neu­roprotective for inner ear ganglion cells [89].
Neurotrophins (NTs) are proteins that ensure the growth and maintenance of neurons. Neurotrophins in the cochlea are known as NT-3 and brain-derived neuro­trophic factor (BNDF). Animal experiments have shown systemic NT-3 treatment effectively protects neurons in PM. The discovery that permanent pathological abnormalities are signicantly more pronounced when therapy is administered after the 24th hour reafrms that early-stage damage is related to neurological complica­tions and HL [70].

28.8 Conclusion
Pneumococcal meningitis and associated complications continue to be a problem despite the introduction of PCVs in childhood immunization practices over the past 25years and the expansion of treatment options. Although new treatment options are promising, increasing vaccination rates and updating national immunization programs in light of evolving epidemiological data appear to be the most efcient strategies for preventing pneumococcal infections under current conditions.

Monitoring all cases with a meningitis diagnosis in terms of HL will allow for early detection and proper management of the disorder before concerns such as HL-related learning difculties and developmental delays occur.
