Abstract:This article highlights the nature of the immune response in patients with acute bacterial meningitis in adolescents. Immunological examination was carried out in the acute period of the disease in patients aged 10 to 19 years. The hemogram, the nature of the cellular and humoral immune response, as well as the development of pro-inflammatory defense factors, C-reactive protein, and procalcitonin were used to evaluate the main components of the immune system.
