Following on from the success that is the Meningitis NW Study we are pleased to announce the UK Meningitis Study. This is an expansion of the study to involve the rest of the UK to try and answer some important questions that the Meningitis NW Study has brought up.

The main areas we will be looking at are:

• What are the determinants of how medical staff request diagnostic tests?
• Can newer technologies improve the diagnostic yield?
• Are there any novel/unusual pathogens accounting for some of the undiagnosed cases?
