Suis meningitis patients were generally men, the average mortality rate is 3.9%. The common clinical manifestations were Fever (100%), headache (92.8%), neck stiffness (90.1%), confusion (66.4%). There were 84.53% of patients with leukocytosis, the median CSF white blood cell count was 689 (TB/mm3), the protein was 2.72 g/L. Deaf complications occurred in 53.04% of patients, of which bilateral deafness accounted for 68.75%. 25.61% of patients recovered their deafness after 3 months.
