Unlike viral meningitis, where only general supportive treatment of vital signs are employed, bacterial meningitis responds best to rapid and high-dose antibiotic treatment. Typically two antibiotics are given concurrently, such as a cephalosporin-type like Rocephin 2 grams q12hrs, plus either vancomycin or high-dose penicillin. Most cases respond well are are resolved in a few days.
