Most patients have a 2-3 day history of symptoms prior to admission. A few have fulminating disease with rapid neurological deterioration. Review of 191 cases of HIb meningitis revealed a mortality rate of 2.1% but all who died had fulminating meningitis (FM). Four of six patients with FM died. FM patients had symptoms for less than 24 hours before rapid neurological deterioration with increased ICP, seizures, coma and\/or respiratory arrest. Review of 10 FM cases revealed that on admission, 5 had hypotension, 3 had thrombocytopenia, and 8 had coma. Typical CSF changes were seen in only 7. All fatal cases died within 24 hours. Brain swelling and tonsillar herniation were found at autopsy. SDS-PAGE outer membrane protein subtyping did not show one \u201ckiller strain\u201d. Animal and autopsy data suggest that diminished CSF outflow and cerebral edema contribute to increased ICP. To improve survival of FM patients, initial treatment must (1) decrease ICP below levels impairing cerebral perfusion, (2) maintain adequate ventilation and blood pressure, and include (3) LP when stable, (4) antibiotics, and (5) close monitoring. Utilizing these principles, two FM patients survived without major sequelae.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0317167100045376","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,28]],"date-time":"2016-07-28T11:35:36Z","timestamp":1469705736000},"page":"78-81","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Fulminating Haemophilus Influenzae b Meningitis"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"N.E.","family":"MacDonald","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.L.","family":"Keene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.M.R.","family":"Mackenzie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Humphreys","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.L.","family":"Jefferies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L.P.","family":"Ivan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0317167100045376_ref559","first-page":"92","volume":"4\u20135","author":"Vernon-Roberts","year":"1972"},{"key":"S0317167100045376_ref557","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(74)91639-0"},{"key":"S0317167100045376_ref556","first-page":"89","author":"Smith","year":"1982"},{"key":"S0317167100045376_ref555","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1968.29.5.0464"},{"key":"S0317167100045376_ref554","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1172\/JCI109850"},{"key":"S0317167100045376_ref553","first-page":"1009","article-title":"Absence of increasing incidence of meningitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b.
