Abstract
The clinical and epidemiological features of the course of acute bacterial meningitis in various age groups of patients in the period from 2014 to 2018 are described. An analysis of 398 case histories of patients was performed. Patients were divided into 5 age groups. The inclusion criterion is the presence of bacterial meningitis of any etiology. Patients with serious meningitis of viral and tuberculous etiology were excluded. Statistical processing was carried out using the SPSS program (determination of compliance with Gauss law, descriptive statistics, determination of average values, relationships between disease indicators, Bonferroni correction). Risk factors were determined, the course of neuro infection in various age groups was revealed, the criteria and the timing of the diagnosis of meningitis.

Summary
Все пациенты поступали в поздние сроки заболевания. Однако в III возрастной группе этот показатель составил 2 (1-2,25) дня. Значение несколько меньше среднего показателя по всем остальным группам, что в некоторых случаях показывает обращение в стационар в первые сутки заболевания. В этом случае лечение пациентам проводится в более ранние сроки. Статистически значимые различия по срокам поступления отмечаются в группах III и IV (р=0,005), III и V (p=0,006)
