dc.description.abstractAnalysis of the results showed that sugar that sugar ratio or protein valve alone was not a good indicator in the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis. White blood cells showed a very high specificity but the sensitivity was very low. Only antigen detection yielded established pathogens of community acquired bactirial meningities.Gram staining yielded 7 positive cases. Throat swabs gave two isolates of pneumococci. Study also showed that diabetes mellitus was a common predisposing factor of community acquired bacterial meningitis. Fever headache neck stiffness and confusion were the commonest signs and symptoms encountered in the study
