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.
