This study evaluated the efficacy of intravenous vancomycin for treating adult patients with pneumococcal meningitis, particularly in the context of rising antibiotic resistance. Eleven patients were treated, with all showing initial clinical improvement; however, four experienced therapeutic failure, necessitating a change in antibiotic therapy. Ultimately, ten patients were cured, highlighting the need for ongoing assessment of treatment options due to the emergence of resistant strains.
