Of all the methods of treating epidemic meningitis, the method of serotherapy has acquired the greatest relevance. Despite the fact that the issue of serotherapy is already 30 years old, it has not yet received final resolution. A number of authors who have used serum in our country in recent years could not confirm the benefits of serum treatment. All this put before the institutes producing anti-meningococcal sera, the question of titrating them and the titration method itself. The problem of serotherapy of cerebrospinal meningitis is, first of all, a problem of the method of titration of anti-meningococcal serum (Prof. Zdrodovsky).
