A patient with severe meningoencephalitis has been treated using a combination of generalized and local mechanisms of antibacterial drug delivery to the inflammation focus, detoxication and brain circulation improvement. The management results have been analysed. Positive neurological dynamics, homeostasis recovery and shorter period of the patient's stay in an intensive care unit proved the efficacy of management. It is assumed that the improvement of brain perfusion is an important pathophysiological mechanism.
