Acute treatment and long-term monitoring for adults with meningitis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at the best way to treat meningitis in adults right away and then checks how people recover over time. It aims to improve care and recovery for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have symptoms like fever and severe headache, stiff neck, sensitivity to light, or a rash, suggesting meningitis.
- Or a spinal tap shows signs of infection (e.g., white blood cells in the fluid).
- Or a lab test confirmed you have meningitis, and you sign up within 48 hours of that result.
- You do not have another brain condition or infection that explains your symptoms.

This study follows children with meningitis to see how well treatments work and what happens in the long run. If your child has a fever and signs of meningitis (like a stiff neck, headache, or rash), they may be able to join.
This study enrolls children and newborns with suspected or confirmed bacterial meningitis. The goal is to understand and improve care for serious infections that affect the lining around the brain.
This trial focuses on people in Denmark who may have an infection in the brain or the fluid around the brain and spinal cord. Researchers aim to collect and compare diagnostic results for different infection types (viral meningitis, bacterial meningitis, encephalitis, and others) to help confirm the cause and guide care.
This study looks for new ways to find the cause of lymphocytic meningitis or meningoencephalitis (inflammation of the brain or its lining) when standard tests don't give an answer. It may help people who have been hospitalized with these conditions and whose spinal fluid tests were unclear or not done.
This trial tests if adding antibiotics directly into the skull bone marrow, along with standard IV antibiotics, helps people with moderate-to-severe bacterial meningitis who are not getting better after 2-3 days of regular treatment.
This trial tests a method to quickly identify the cause of meningitis or encephalitis by looking at your symptoms and spinal fluid results. It may help doctors choose the right treatment faster.
