ABSTRACT:
INTRODUCTION: Meningitis is a serious condition, often caused by bacterial, viral, or fungal infections. Early diagnosis is challenging, as the initial clinical presentation may be similar to other infections. Furthermore, neurological manifestations can progress rapidly, leading to severe sequelae or death, particularly in bacterial cases. Identifying the precise etiology and prompt treatment are crucial to reducing sequelae, and epidemiological surveillance is essential to prevent outbreaks and improve clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the incidence of different types of meningitis in the state of Goiás.
