The BIA meningitis and encephalitis Infection Quick Reference Guide

The Meningitis and Encephalitis Infection Quick Reference Guide (IQRG) is a general resource for frontline NHS healthcare professionals caring for adults with brain infections. It should be used in conjunction with current UK guidance on the management of meningitis and encephalitis in adults. This IQRG provides guidance in the diagnosis, investigation, clinical management, and criteria for clinical escalation of adults with suspected meningitis and encephalitis. Published IQRGs can be found on the BIA website. They are endorsed by the Royal College of Physicians and the Royal College of Pathologists.
