ABSTRACT
AIM ; proposal of bacterial meningitis (neiserria menigitidis) and global etiology of
different types of bacterial meningitis
METHODS; PUBMED, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PLOSONE,PRISMA data bases have
performed systematic review and meta analysis.
RESULTS ; the search was done initially identified neiserria meningitis 755
potentially relevant articles. The literature of this topic was insufficient and no
establishment of neiserria meningitidis directly with any global etiology issues.
CONCLUSION; research states that neiserria meningitidis can cause meningitis and
global etiology information of different kinds of bacteria that causes bacterial
meningitis.
INTRODUCTION;
Bacterial meningitis is a very serious deadly disease and global concern, with several
responsible etiology agents that vary by age group and geographical area. Mainly
bacteria like streptococcus pneumonia, neiserria meningitidis, haemophilus
influenza. Death may occur in few hours. Most of the people recover from the
meningitis. However permanent disabilities like(such as brain damage, hearing loss
and learning disabilities). N.meningitidis was the most common in children aged ±1–
5 years in Europe (47.0%).
Meningitis is an infection that causes protective membranes of the nervous system
to swell. Inflammation of the brain and spinal cord can affect every part of our
body. mainly disease causing bacterium are streptococcus pneumonia, haemophilus
influenza, neiserria meningitis cause invasive bacterial meningitidis and septicaemia
However current vaccines against meningococcal disease by neisseria meningitidis
have been only partially effective due to challenges in vaccine design and this
bacterium highly variable surface antigens and meningococcal bacteria are divided
into 13 groups base on polysacchirides present in it. The disease variability of the
bacterium’s antigens also contributes diverse and unpredictable epidemiology of
global meningococcal disease and serogroup emergence and distributions changes
varies world- wide not only by region but also over time.
Keywords; NEISSERIA MENINGITIDIS, GLOBAL ETIOLOGY OF BACTERIAL
MENINGITIS.
REASON FOR CHOOSING;
It has been noted that bacterial meningitis is one of the cause mortality in children
as well as adults. It causing permanent disabilities of brain , hearing loss. And it as
epidemiological out breaks are large in the world caused by different types of
bacteria and changes due to time to time.

RESEARCH QUESTIONS;
Question1
What are the advantages by knowing about Neisseria meningitidis?
Answer; Neisseria meningitidis is of one most disease causing bacteria in children as
well as adults. It causes invasive meningitis and septicaemia. Current vaccines
against this bacterium as been partially effects due to challenges in vaccine design.
Question 2
Is this procedure like global etiology reliable?
Answer ; Yes sure, it is worthy by knowing epidemiological outbreaks of diseases
particularly like pathogen causing diseases. Because it as high mortality rates than
other. Also better to know how bacteria changes place to place and time to time.
Question3
Is there any future development in this procedure?
Answer; it is developing at a very rapid pace and from the biotechnological process.
In the preparation of different vaccines. epidemiologists are also giving valuable
contributions for the development of this procedure.
MATERIAL AND METHODS;
An electronic research was performed in PUBMED,MEDLINE PLOSONE. All studies
which responds to the article are eligible.
CRITERIA FOR CONSIDERING STUDIES FOR THIS REVIEW;
The present systematic search included studies are include neisseria meningitis and
global etiology of bacterial meningitis different countries information.
SEARCH METHODS FOR INDENTIFICATION OF STUDIES;
The studies which are potentially eligible were listed and evaluated and the studies
which were eligible are selected.
RESULTS;
In the PUBMED the articles about Bacterial meningitis 33345 articles specifically
about Bacterial meningitis caused by Neisseria meningtidis are 717 articles. In that I
have subtract topics by reading abstract. Related topics are 11 topics in this about 8
articles about neisseria meningitidis main important information take out and 3
articles about data of bacterial meningitis take out. In PUBMED there information of
surveillance data are include countries like Nigeria ,Italy etc. it as systematic review
and meta analysis.
CASE REPORT;
This case as been given on NEISERRIA MENINGITIS effected on 23 month old female
child was admitted with history of fever 7 days. there were no history similar illness
in the family .she was febrile,frowsy,tachypneic heart rate was 134/mt, capillary
refill time was less than 2 sec, blood pressure wad 96/60mmHg. Clinical
examination revealed equal pupils and reaching to light, normal tone,brisk reflexes,
plantar was bilateral extensor and neck stiffness anterior forntanelle was closed.
Child was started on ceftriaxone and anti convulsants with supportive therapy.
Investigations revealed equal pupils and revealed Haemoglobin of 8 g/dl total count
of 12,300 cells/cumm. Electrolytes and renal parameters were normal. lumbar
puncture revealed CSF. Microscopy revealed 36 cells /cumm, 75% polymorphs and
25% lymphocytes, gram stain revealed 14 plus cells.No organism was seen in gram
stain. CSF culture revealed that N. meningitis sensitive to cefotaxime and
chromphenicol. PCR was positive for N. meningitis . blood culture was sterile.CSF
was negative for HSV and JE. CT brain revealed a normal study .child received
intravenous injection cefriaxone at sa dose of 100mg/kg/day for 10 days and was
discharged after 14 days without any neurological sequelae. Meningococcal
screening of the child was negative. The contacts of the child were adults and they
received a single dose of ciprofloxacin 500mg as chemoprophylaxis.
DISCUSSION;
Neisseria meninigitis is a gram negative, aerobic, non- endospore forming
diplococcus.meningococci can lively harmlessly in the nasopharynx of upto 10% of
healthy population. This career state facilities the circulation of the bacteria within
communities with transmission taking place via air bourn respiratory circulation or
through direct contact . Progression from carriage to invasive disease depend on
virulent an susceptibility of the individual. Invasive meningococcal disease is rapidly
fatal and reported mortality is high . Though meningococcal meningitis is a
notifiable disease the reporting has been incomplete and in consistence. Incidence
of N.meningitidis is much lower has per previous Indian studies in recent studies
from India shown the incidence to be 9.5%
Upper respiratory tract is the reservoir and habit of N.meningococci transmission is
through direct contact or airborn droplets and incubation period is 1 to 7 day
Among the serotypes A,B,C,Y,W135 strains account for nearly 90% of infections .
the interaction mediated by the type 4 pili is responsible for the formation of micro
colonies on the apical surface of cell . This interaction followed by activation
signalling pathways in the host cell leading to formation of endothelial docking
structures resembling those elicited by the interaction leukocytes with the
endothelial cells during the extravasation. the consequences of the bacteria
induced signalling events in the recruitment of intercellular junction components in
the docking structure and the subsequent opening of the intercellular junction.
N.meningitidis is frequent asympyomatic colonizer of human nasopharynx and only
a very small proportion of infections proceed to a sustained bacteria. Once in the
blood stream. N.meningitis can either be responsible for a deadly septic shock
leading to purpura fulminans and/or cross the BBB to invade the meninges. The
reasons. Why disease occurs in some individuals and not in others remains
unclear,but human genetic polymorphism is likely to be important in determining
the outcome of infection.
N.meningitidis interacts only with human cells and there is no animal model of
meningococcal sepsis.N.meningitidis interacts with endothelial cells and form
colonies on the apical surface of endothelial cell capillaries. Bacteria are found
inside cells and intercellular spaces. In peripheral purpuric lesions, retraction of
endothelial cells with capillary disruption can be observed as well as haemorrhages
adhesion of leukocytes and formation of thrombi. In the brain ,bacteria are seen
interacting with capillaries of sub-arachnoidal space , the brain parenchyma and
choroid plexuses, and inside drain vessels .N. meningitidis to disseminate through
the meningeal spaces. In contrast, in case of high bacteria, many peripheral
endothelial cels are colonised by meningococci, leading to significant increase of
vascular permeability possibly associated with extensive thrombosis and purpura.
DATA SURVELLIANCE OF BACTERIAL MENINGITIS;
Out of 3227 unique records screened,72 studies reported on etiology of bacterial
meningitis by age and region. Although search was limited in last five years-. The meta analysis of these studies showed the most prevalent pathogens that
caused bacterial meningitis were N.meningitis with weighted means for frequency
across geographical regions and age groups ranging from 3.2-47.0% .but
streptococcus pneumonia was the most frequently implicated cause of bacterial
meningitis in children as well as adults groups with weighted means for frequency
between 22.5%-41.1% and 9.6%-75.2% .

CONCLUSION;
In this research study, we discussed that from long time our world increasing the
cases with Bacterial meningitis in the children as well as adult age groups. In
particularly information included about Neisseria meningitidis. this research
includes information of data surveillance about different bacteria which causes
Bacterial meningitis like streptococcus pneumonia, neiserria meningitis etc in
different geographical areas.
