Bacterial meningitis is the inflammation of the meninges resulting in high mortality and morbidity throughout the world (1).
With the emergence of conjugated vaccines, the burden of bacterial meningitis has reduced dramatically in children and as a result community-acquired bacterial meningitis has become a disease that affects more adults than children (1).
The causative agent of bacterial meningitis varies according to the age of the patient and predisposing factors (1)
