Delay in treatment or inadequate therapy with inappropriate antibiotics can result in a progressive cycle of inflammation, edema and infarction in children with bacterial meningitis. Early use of computed tomographic (CT) scanning and effective antibiotic therapy may significantly alter both the initial and long-term clinical courses. CT scanning also facilitates the early detection and treatment of suppurative intracranial complications.
