Why do patients with meningitis go to respiratory isolation rooms?
Patients with bacterial meningitis go into respiratory isolation rooms because the bacteria can be spread via the respiratory tract and respiratory secretions, hence the droplet isolation. Patients should be isolated for at least 48 hours worth of appropriate antibiotic therapy or until the correct pathogen is identified.
