Resumo
1124 cases of infection of the Central Nervous System examined at lhe
"Hospital de Doenças Tropicais" (Tropical Diseases Hospital) during the period of
1989-1993 were studied conceming to prevalence of the etiologic agenls, Patients
were divided into 3 groups according to their ages - Group A: up to 90 days (36
cases - 3,20%); Group B: from 90 days to 5 years (522 cases - 46,44%) and Group
C: older than 5 years (566 cases - 50,35%). Classification of these patients was based
on rcsults from examination of cerebrospinal fluid, clinicai and epidemiological data.
Acute bacterial infection was lhe mós t frequent cause in ali groups affccting 74,96%,
64,74% and 63,75% of the patients in each group. Neisseria meningitidis was llusccond
most frequent etiologic agent observed infecting 16,66%, 15,32% and 21,73%
of the patients in each group including 2 newborns under 30 days of life. Comité r
immuno-eletrophoresis was positive in 87 patients: 59,77% (52 cases) wilh Scrolypc
B and 40,22% (35 cases) with Serotype C. Infections in which a preponderance ol
mononuclear cells was observed in the cerebrospinal fluid represented 8,33%,
19,96% and 14,4% of the cases in each group. One possible agent was the Mumps
vírus which infecled 73 patients. Global lethality was 6,23%: 0,18% in Group A; 2,22% in Group B and 3,84% in Group C. A low number of bactéria isolation was
reporled and this was probably due to antibiotics used before cerebrospinal fluid was
Cdllcctcd for examination.
