Neonatal meningitis contributes substantially to neurological disability worldwide. Its incidence remains low but is significantly higher in neonates with documented sepsis, preterm infants, and when meningitis is nosocomial. Neonates are at higher risk of meningitis because of immaturity in humoral and cellular immunity, and the absence of specific clinical signs makes diagnosis of meningitis more difficult in neonates than in older children. Neonatal meningitis remains, therefore, a public health challenge for pediatricians. Mortality and long-term complications in survivors are observed in 10–15% and 20–50%, respectively, depending on term at diagnosis, type of identified organisms, and delay before treatment. Neurological deficits range from moderate-to-severe disabilities to more subtle problems including visual deficits, middle-ear disease, and cognitive and behavioral impairments. Intracerebral complications should be documented using magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment should be initiated once the diagnosis is suspected using a parenteral combination of bactericidal antibiotics adapted to pathogen sensitivity.

Meningitis is an uncommon but serious illness at any age, and during the first few weeks of life it poses a particular hazard with high mortality and a considerable risk to survivors of permanent damage to the developing brain. This book comprehensively reviews bacterial, fungal and viral forms of the illness. Epidemiology and comparisons of maternally and environmentally derived infections are included, along with a view of the developing brain and host defence mechanisms. A review of experimental bacterial meningitis is provided, together with a discussion of its relevance for clinical and laboratory diagnosis, and for antimicrobial and supportive management. Prospects for the future in terms of early diagnosis, management and prevention are also addressed. In its collation of material from such a wide range of literature sources, this is a vital reference for all clinicians with an interest in the problems of meningitis in early life.

Neonatal sepsis contributes significantly to neonatal morbidity and mortality. The incidence of neonatal sepsis as per National Neonatal Perinatal Database (NNPD 2002-2003) is 30 per 1,000 live births among intramural neonates. Among extramural neonates, sepsis accounts for nearly 40% of admissions to the NICU. It accounts for 18% of neonatal mortality among intramural neonates and nearly 40% of mortality among extramural neonates. The incidence and mortality is much higher in VLBW neonates as compared to term neonates. Neonatal sepsis is a clinical syndrome characterized by systemic signs of infection and accompanied by bacteremia in the first month of life. Once bacteria gains access to the bloodstream, mechanisms are activated by the host to eliminate it. Usually, the bacteria are efficiently cleared by the monocyte macrophage system after opsonization by antibody and complement. Sometimes, however, a systemic inflammatory response syndrome is established and can progress independently of the original infection. In many patients with sepsis, it is difficult to document a bacterial cause. The term "systemic inflammatory response syndrome" includes several stages of infection ranging from sepsis, sepsis syndrome, and early septic shock to refractory septic shock, which can eventuate in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and death. Prevention of sepsis is probably the best management strategy as far as neonatal sepsis is concerned. Strategies include prevention of early-onset sepsis and prevention of late-onset sepsis. For the former, appropriate obstetric care is the key; for the latter, decreasing interventions, promoting breast feeding, and maintaining proper hand hygiene are essential.
