"Until meningitis is ruled out through lumbar puncture, septic very-low-birth-weight infants at high risk of mortality should receive empiric antimicrobials with high delivery through the blood-brain ...

Meningitis is associated with high mortality and frequently causes severe sequelae. Newborn infants are particularly susceptible to this type of infection; they develop meningitis 30 times more often ...

Bacterial meningitis poses diagnostic challenges in infants. Antibiotic pretreatment and low bacterial density diminish cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) culture yield, while laboratory parameters do not ...
