Abstract

The present systematic review aims to investigate the impact of meningitis on the cognitive skills anddevelopment of children. In this systematic review, relevant studies were identified via searches throughmedical information databases of MEDLINE, PubMed, ISI, EMBASE, Cochrane with the keywords ofMeningitis, Meningitis and Complications, Meningitis and Children, Meningitis and Intelligence Quotient(IQ), Meningitis and Development, and their derivatives. In this study, amongst 198 articles reviewed,11 articles met the inclusion criteria. All studies, except one case, reported a decrease in growth and IQin children who experienced meningitis. Based on the results of the present study, children who haveexperienced meningitis at a younger age are more prone to disability, growth retardation, and lower IQ thanother children throughout the later years of their life.
