ABSTRACT
Twenty-two cases of bacterial meningitis with age ranged between 1-12 years were examined and 20 healthy children matched for age and sex served as controls. All cases and controls were investigated for plasma fibronectin, total leucocytic count [WBC] and erythrocytic sedimentation rate [ESR]. Cerebrospinal fluid [CSF] glucose and protein had returned to normal levels in all cases after treatment, while CSF cell count remained abnormally high in 32% of cases. Plasma fibronectin, WBC and ESR did not significantly differ regarding the bacterial isolates from CSF
