Abstract

Meningitis is an infection of the membranes (meninges) surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It is a dangerous condition with potentially serious consequences if misdiagnosed or left untreated. Our study aimed to summarise the clinical and laboratory predictors in patients with acute meningitis at one hospital in the Gaza Strip.
