Research output: Contribution to journalComment/Letter to the editorAcademic

Abstract

In the article by Heckenberg et al.,(1) the authors conclude that dexamethasone did not similarly improve the unfavorable outcome in meningococcal meningitis as was seen in their previous pneumococcal cohort study.(2) The difference in the incidence of meningitis-related stroke between these meningitis populations may explain the difference in the cohorts' Glasgow Outcome Scale results
