Abstract
Late diagnosis of CABM was common and patients were admitted with mostly non-infectious diagnoses. Absence of neck stiffness did not rule out CABM and special attention should be given to patients with pneumonia and the elderly. Late diagnosis was associated with incorrect patient management and increased mortality.
