Audiological and other long-term neurological sequelae were determined in 157 cases and their controls matched for age, sex and village 6 to 12 months after an epidemic of group A meningococcal meningitis in rural West Africa. 19 cases (12.1%) and 3 controls (1.9%) had moderate or severe neurological sequelae of any type (P less than 0.001); 6 cases (3.9%) and no controls had severe or profound sensorineural hearing loss (P = 0.03). There was no difference in conductive hearing loss between cases and controls. Other cranial nerve sequelae (except visual defects) and generalized neurological and motor and co-ordination sequelae were also significantly increased in cases. Sensorineural hearing loss and other cranial nerve sequelae occurred significantly more frequently in males than in females, and co-ordination sequelae more frequently in cases aged 10 years or more than in younger cases. Sensorineural hearing loss and loss of visual acuity were found significantly more frequently in cases whose treatment was delayed for 4 d or more, compared with those who received treatment sooner.
