Abstract
Bacterial meningitis in the neonate differs from meningitis in the older infant and child in a number of ways. Bacterial pathogens primarily are associated with the maternal genitourinary tract. Symptoms and physical findings may be nonspecific, and a high index of suspicion is needed. Management may vary depending on the maturity of the infant and the bacterial pathogen that is isolated.Entities:
