Abstrakt: Evaluates the spectrum and regulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) in bacterial meningitis (BM) by measuring concentrations of MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-8 and MMP-9 and endogenous inhibitors of metalloproteinases in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of children with BM. Role of MMP in glial and neuronal cell death; Comparison of the CSF levels of MMP-9 in patients who developed hearing impairment and those who recovered without neurological deficits.
