چکیده

reports on the treatment of meningitis with penicillin, with sulphonamides, and with sulphouamides and anti-meningococcal serum. The following are some recent publications on the subject. Dawson and Hobby (1944) reported on the Use of penicillin in 100 cases out of which only 2 were of meningococcal meningitis. In one case the response was satisfactory; in the other Penicillin was not given intrathecally and the Patient subsequently responded to sulphonamides and anti-meningococcal serum. A preliminary report on 65 cases of meningococcal meningitis ^vith only one fatality is recorded by Rosenberg and Arling (1944). On the other hand, Meads, Harris, Samper and Finland (1944) treated 9 eases of meningococcal meningitis with penicillin 'Administered both intrathecally and intramuscularly and found that the response was slower than with sulphonamides, and that there ^ere certain strains of meningococci which ^'ere resistant to penicillin. White, Murphy, Lockwood and Flippin (1945) treated 12 cases ?f meningococcal meningitis with penicillin in ^'hich there were 6 deaths.
