WHO guidelines on meningitis diagnosis, treatment and care

In line with the Defeating meningitis by 2030: a global road map, the WHO guidelines on meningitis diagnosis, treatment and care provide evidence-based recommendations for the clinical management of children and adults with community-acquired meningitis. They focus on both acute and long-term care, including rehabilitation for individuals with complications. The guidelines are intended for health-care professionals, policy-makers, programme managers, academic institutions and organisations involved in capacity-building, teaching and research, with particular relevance for low- and middle-income countries and epidemic settings.
