Bacterial meningitis in the neonatal infant.
Meningitis occurs more often in the neonatal period than at any other time of life. It is often the result of maternal infection and occurs more often in the prematurely born infant and in those born after prolonged rupture of the membranes. Even with early treatment, the chance for survival is limited and the likelihood of complications among survivors is high.
