Hearing Loss Following Hemophilus influenzae Meningitis in Infancy

Evaluation of hearing loss with auditory brainstem responses in the early and late period of bacterial meningitis in children

“…Deafness is the most important and most common of these complications. SNHL occurs in five to 35 per cent of children with meningitis (Dodge et al, 1984;MacDonald and Feinstein, 1984;Kaplan et al, 1984;Bhatt et al, 1991;Yavuz et al, 1992). Twenty per cent of bilateral severe SNHL is due to acquired reasons, and 90 per cent of these are reported to be caused by bacterial meningitis (Dodge et al, 1984;Fortnum, 1992).…”

“…Also it is the cause of six to 25 per cent of hearing loss (HL) in childhood (Harada 'et al, 1988;Fortnum, 1992;Fortnum and Davis, 1993). HL is more prominent and severe in patients with bacterial meningitis compared to viral and tuberculous meningitis (Guiscafre et al, 1984;Kaplan et al, 1984;MacDonald and Feinstein, 1984;Bhatt et al, 1991;Fortnum, 1992). It has been reported that the type of micro-organism does not significantly affect the incidence of HL (Jiang et al, 1990;Fortnum and Davis, 1993).…”
