RESUMEN
La meningitis bacteriana es una urgencia neurológica debido a que el retraso en
su tratamiento incrementa la morbilidad y mortalidad de manera importante. El
abordaje inmediato y tratamiento empírico dependen de múltiples variables que el
clínico debe contestar en el primer momento de la evaluación, limitándose a cubrir
los microorganismos de los que existe elevada sospecha. Los auxiliares diagnósticos
son herramientas de gran utilidad para el diagnóstico y seguimiento; sin embargo,
existen indicaciones precisas para realizarse de forma urgente. El objetivo de este
documento es revisar de manera integral el abordaje y tratamiento del clínico frente
a la meningitis bacteriana.
