==Overview==


* If the suspected patient complaints with fever, headache, altered level of consciousness, signs of meningeal irritationthe, blood culture or CSF should be obtained urgently, then CT. But DO NOT wait for the results of the CT scan and the lumbar puncture; empiric treatment should be started as soon as possible.

* Blood cultures should be drawn before starting the [[antibiotic]] therapy, and then the antibiotic treatment should be changed once the blood culture results are out.

* Empiric antibiotic treatment should be started within 30 minutes after the patient presentation.


* In case of high suspicion of pneumococcal meningitis in adult patients, 0.15 mg/kg IV Q6H dexomethasone should be administered for 2 to 4 days.

* For adjuvant treatment, the radiation dose consists of 45-50 Gy for clear/close margins and 54 Gy for microscopically positive resection margins. A total dose of 60 Gy and above should be given to patients with gross residual disease (similar to patients with unresectable disease), when conventional fractionation (1.8 to 2.0 Gy per daily fraction) is applied.

Radiation Dose

Return to top

  • A dose of 60-70 Gy should be given to patients with unresectable disease.
  • For adjuvant treatment, the radiation dose consists of 45-50 Gy for clear/close margins and 54 Gy for microscopically positive resection margins. A total dose of 60 Gy and above should be given to patients with gross residual disease (similar to patients with unresectable disease), when conventional fractionation (1.8 to 2.0 Gy per daily fraction) is applied.
