    This document discusses treatment guidelines for meningitis. It outlines recommendations for both empirical and specific treatment approaches. Empirical treatment involves initially administering antibiotics like ampicillin, gentamicin, or ceftriaxone. Specific treatment then targets the identified pathogen, whether it be viral, Gram-positive cocci like streptococcus pneumoniae, or Gram-negative rods. Antibiotic selection depends on factors like the identified organism and its resistance profile.
