There is low-quality evidence to suggest the use of oral glycerol may have a small effect on reducing deafness in children, especially in Haemophilus influenzae type b meningitis.[145]Peltola H, Roine I, Fernández J, et al. Adjuvant glycerol and/or dexamethasone to improve the outcomes of childhood bacterial meningitis: a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Clin Infect Dis. 2007 Nov 15;45(10):1277-86.
