Para la validación estadística se aplicó la prueba estadística no paramétrica x2, y el test de hipótesis de proporciones para grupos independientes, para un nivel de ajuste de a=0.05. La mayor parte de los pacientes con meningoencefalitis bacteriana aguda y subaguda se encontraba entre los 15 y los 59 años de edad, disminuyendo la frecuencia de la enfermedad a medida que avanza la edad, la mayor mortalidad se observó en los de 60 años o más, siendo este hecho altamente significativo. Los síntomas y signos más frecuentes fueron fiebre, cefalea, rigidez de nuca y alteraciones de la conciencia; la ausencia de fiebre, la presencia de vómitos, alteraciones de la conciencia, convulsiones, otros signos meníngeos, así como petequias, constituyeron signos de mal pronóstico. Las complicaciones más frecuentes resultaron ser edema cerebral, neumonía aguda nosocomial e insuficiencia respiratoria aguda no asociada al SIRPA, todas con diferencias estadísticas altamente significativas respecto a la probabilidad de morir por ellas. Los agentes etiológicos fueron, en orden decreciente, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterobacter aerogenes, Neisseria meningitidis y Haemophilus influenzae. El cultivo resultó negativo en la mayoría de los casos que usaron antibioticoterapia previa al diagnóstico.

ABSTRACT A descriptive study was performed from 2002-2006 in 117 patients with a bacterial meningoencephalitis diagnosis being discharged alive or death in "Abel Santamaría" or "Leon Cuervo Rubio" hospitals. The non - parametric statistical X2 testing was used for the statistical validation as well as the hypothesis testing of ratios for independent groups, a fitted value of á=0.05. Most of patients with acute and sub acute bacterial meningoencephalitis were in 15 and 59 year age range decreasing the frequency of the disease with the age advancing , the highest mortality rate was observed at 60 years old or over being considered very significant . The most predisposing factors were: otitis media, acute community pneumonia and sinusitis, some of them partially treated or not. Fever, headache, neck stiffness and consciousness disorders were the most frequent symptoms and signs and the absence of fever, the occurrence of vomits, consciousness disorders, convulsions, and other meningeal signs and petechiae were considered as a bad prognosis. The most frequent complications were cerebral edema, nosocomial acute pneumonia and acute respiratory failure no associated to SIRPA having all of them very significant statistical differences and leading to a probable death. The etiological agents were: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Enterobacter aerogenes, Neisseria meningitides and Haemophilus influenzae. In most of cases given antibiotic therapy before diagnosis the culture was negative.
