Neonatal meningitis, predominantly caused by E. coli, had a 22.2% fatality rate. Survivors faced significant sequelae, including hydrocephalus, highlighting the severity of this infection in newborns.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pediatrics

Context:

  • Retrospective analysis of 27 neonatal meningitis cases treated between 1981-1988.
  • Included premature and full-term infants, with a focus on early-onset cases.

Purpose:

  • To describe clinical features and management of neonatal meningitis.
  • To identify risk factors and outcomes associated with the condition.

Summary:

  • Escherichia coli (E. coli) was the primary pathogen identified.
  • Common symptoms included fever, poor feeding, respiratory distress, and lethargy.
  • Mortality rate was 22.2%, with 19% of survivors experiencing sequelae like hydrocephalus.

Impact:

  • Highlighting the significant mortality and morbidity associated with neonatal meningitis.
