...Show More Authors

Background: Childhood meningitis is a major
cause of morbidity and mortality, Hemophilus
influenza b (Hib) is the most common cause in
many countries, especially below 5 years and
before the development of conjugated Hib vaccine,
it is followed by Streptococcus Pneumonia, and
then N. meningitides, in addition to other
microorganisms.
Objective: To identify the causative organisms
of bacterial meningitis and to identify the factors
predisposing significantly to the incidence of
bacterial meningitis.
Method: This cross sectional , study was done in
Al-Elwia Pediatric Hospital during the period 1st
of January 2007 to 30th of June 2007.Eighty four
patients with presumptive diagnosis of meningitis
were included in this study, from the age of 2
months -12 years, History about some risk factors
were taken in details. Analysis of cerebrospinal
Fluid (CSF) with Gram stains & cultures were
done in all cases.
Results: The number of cases of meningitis was
50 (20 proved meningitis & 30 partially treated
meningitis), while 34 patients are found to have no
meningitis.
Streptococcus pneumoniae was identified in
45%, Hemophilus Influenza b in 20%, while
Nisseria meningitides 5%, other organisms include
Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus,
Klebsiella, & salmonella.
Many factors affecting the occurrence of
bacterial meningitis & these include: age, sex,
residence, body weight and home overcrowding.
Conclusions: Streptococcus pneumoniae was
found to be the predominant microorganism
causing bacterial meningitis in children aged 2

found to be the major cause in cases of ventriculoperitoneal
(VP) shunt meningitis.

Charge density distributions and electron scattering form factors of 25Mg, 27Al and 29Si nuclei
...Show More Authors

An effective two-body density operator for point nucleon system
folded with the tenser force correlations( TC's), is produced and used
to derive an explicit form for ground state two-body charge density
distributions (2BCDD's) applicable for 25Mg, 27Al and 29Si nuclei. It is
found that the inclusion of the two-body TC's has the feature of
increasing the central part of the 2BCDD's significantly and reducing
the tail part of them slightly, i.e. it tends to increase the probability of
transferring the protons from the surface of the nucleus towards its
centeral region and consequently makes the nucleus to be more rigid
than the case when there is no TC's and also leads to decrease the
1/ 2
r 2 of the nucleu
