Abstract

|
|
This study aimed to identify initial predictive factors of meningitis among the febrile neonates. Retrospective analysis was
conducted on the clinical data of 147 cases who admitted the neonatal intensive care unit due to fever (temperature ≥ 38.0
℃) from 2010 to 2014. Lumbar puncture was performed on every case before administration of antibiotics. 37 cases (25.2%)
were diagnosed as meningitis, who included 7 cases of bacterial meningitis (4.8%). When we compared meningitis group
with non-meningitis group (110 patients), moaning was statistically higher in meningitis group. In a comparison of bacterial
meningitis with aseptic meningitis (30 patients), grunting, fever peak on admission day and C-reactive protein were significantly higher in bacterial meningitis group.
