Enteroviral meningitis in neonates.
We present 4 neonates with enteroviral meningitis. The cerebrospinal fluid findings were variable and posed a diagnostic problem. Immediate outcome was excellent and 3 of the 4 infants were normal at follow-up at 6 months of age. However long-term follow-up will be necessary to to determine any long-term sequelae.
