Abstract
A prospective study was designed to obtain data on all meningitis patients admitted to a large county Communicable Disease Unit. The epidemiologic and clinical features of 290 cases were analyzed to ascertain the effect of routine O.R.L. consultation on the morbidity and mortality of this disease. The results of physical examination provided current statistics as to the existence of ear, nose, and throat diseases associated with meningitis.
