Background: Meningoencephalitis caused by Escherichia coli is associated with high rates of mortality and risk of neurological sequelae in newborns and infants and in older or immunocompromised adults. A high prevalence of neurological disorders has been observed in geriatric populations at risk of hypovitaminosis D.
Methods: In vivo, we studied the effects of vitamin D3 on survival and the host's immune response in experimental bacterial meningoencephalitis in mice after intracerebral E.
