Abstract:
Six newborn infants affected by acute aseptic neonatal meningitis were attended during the months of June and July 1987. Fever, good general physical appearance and no associate focal symptomatology was the onset in five cases, whereas one of them had apnea spells. An increase in total cell count was present in CSF with polymorphonuclears predominance in two cases, being lymphocites more prevalent in the others. Enterovirus were demonstrated as a cause in three of them. After describing clinical facts and evolution, some epidemiological aspects are commented.
