The study was to determine regional characteristics and outcomes of meningitis in 105 children. Purulent meningitis developed in young children (56.7 %) and was accompanied by severe (85.1 %) forms, risks of infectious (29.9 %) and neurological (20.9 %) complications, and a protracted course (65.7 %). Children with serous meningitis had an underlying pathology (52.6 %), partial meningeal syndrome (79.0 %), and developed meningoencephalitis or meningoencephalomyelitis (55.3 %). During the recovery period, the frequency and range of neurological disorders in purulent and serous meningitis were not different. Still, in the long term, a range of neurological disorders in children with bacterial meningitis and a decrease in QOL was identified.
