Abstract
A planned study was carried out for a period of five years commencing in 1983 until 1987. A total number of 120 cases suffering from meningitis were studied. Cases were collected from a general Medical ward at Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar. The period of admission was seven days in a month. Days of admission were divided on rotation basis, equally among the four Medical units of the hospital. Although all age groups were included in this study. As there are no separate Geriatric units, therefore all elderly patients needing admission with the suspected diagnosis of meningitis were also included in this study.
