ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y observacional, de serie de casos, en 45 pacientes con meningoencefalitis bacteriana, egresados del Hospital Provincial Docente Clinicoquirúrgico "Saturnino Lora Torres", desde 2008 hasta 2013, a fin de caracterizarles según variables epidemiológicas, clínicas, microbiológicas y evolutivas. En la serie predominó el sexo femenino (54,5 %). Entre los síntomas cardinales de la enfermedad figuraron: fiebre (81,8 %), cefalea (77,3 %) y signos meníngeos (75,0 %). No fue posible obtener aislamiento en 52,3 % de los afectados, lo cual se logró en aquellos con Streptococcus pneumoniae (38,7 %). Se estimó una mortalidad de 18,2 %, asociada directamente a la presencia de sepsis sistémica.
