Although there are numerous reports on the relative merits of various therapeutic agents in the treatment of influenzal meningitis, little has been written on the postinfectious sequelae of this disease. With the advent of increasingly more efficacious therapy and the consequent decrease in the mortality rate, the occurrence of sequelae assumes greater importance in determining the ultimate prognosis. The present study was undertaken, therefore, to evaluate the status of 44 patients who had had influenzal meningitis.The patients, the majority of whom lived in the city, were from an area within a radius of one hundred and fifty miles of the city of Louisville, Ky. All were given treatment at the Louisville General Hospital or the Children's Free Hospital in Louisville from January 1945 to December 1948.Twenty-nine of the 34 living patients were reexamined. Emphasis was placed on general physical condition, developmental level and neurologic and electroencephalographic studies. All |
