    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Neonatology

    Background:

    • Neonatal meningitis poses a significant threat to infant health.
    • Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a common cause of neonatal infections.
    • Understanding GBS meningitis epidemiology is crucial for prevention and treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze bacteriological and clinical data of neonatal GBS meningitis.
    • To determine mortality rates and identify risk factors.
    • To investigate the predominant serotypes of GBS involved.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 68 pediatric cases of GBS meningitis.
    • Data collected between 1976 and 1982.
    • Clinical and microbiological data reviewed.

    Main Results:

    • Mortality rate was 25%, with no difference between early and late onset disease.
    • 57% of cases involved Streptococcus agalactiae type III.
    • Low birth weight (<2500g) was noted in 16% of infants.
    • No predisposing etiological factor was identified in 50% of patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Neonatal GBS meningitis has a high mortality rate.
    • Streptococcus agalactiae type III is the most common cause.
    • Further research is needed to understand unidentified etiological factors.
