| Summary: | Relevance. Nonspecific anti-epidemic measures against СOVID-19 (mask-wearing, social distancing, lockdowns, homework, quarantines, school closures, tourism bans, etc.) resulted in a significant decrease in the incidence of many respiratory infections. Scientific publications have reported a decrease in the incidence of bacterial purulent meningitis (BMP) during the development of the COVID-19 pandemic. Aims. To review the scientific publications on the decline in the incidence of BMP during the СOVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions. Undoubtedly non-specific anti-epidemic measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic helped to reduce the incidence of respiratory infections regardless of their etiology and could serve as an indirect indicator of the activity of these measures. |
