Bacterial meningitis and living conditions Meningites bacterianas e condições de vida Shirley Fonseca de Souza1, Maria da Conceição Nascimento Costa2, Jairnilson Silva Paim2, Marcio Santos da Natividade2, Susan Martins Pereira2, Alcina Marta de Souza Andrade1 and Maria Glória Teixeira2 ABSTRACT Introduction: Bacterial meningitis has great social relevance due to its ability to produce sequelae and cause death. It is most frequently found in developing countries, especially among children. Meningococcal meningitis occurs at a high frequency in populations with poor living conditions. This study describes the temporal evolution of bacterial meningitis in Salvador, Brazil, 1995-2009, and verifies the association between its spatial variation and the living conditions of the population. Methods: This was an ecological study in which the areas of information were classified by an index of living conditions. It examined fluctuations using a trend curve, and the relationship between this index and the spatial distribution of meningitis was verified using simple linear regression. Results: From 1995-2009, there were 3,456 confirmed cases of bacterial meningitis in Salvador. We observed a downward trend during this period, with a yearly incidence of 9.1 cases/100,000 population and fatality of 16.7%. Children aged
