BACKGROUND: The mortality of neonatal pyogenic meningitis is reduced to 10-15%, but morbidity is unchanged.
METHODS: Primary objective is to determine the outcome, i.e. death or abnormal neurological examination (NE) at discharge and abnormal developmental quotient (DQ) at 3 months. Secondary objective is to find predictors of poor outcome.
RESULTS: In all, 89 neonates enrolled, 10 expired and 24 neonates had abnormal NE at discharge. A total of 59 neonates came for follow up, 13 had DQ < 70. Prolonged shock (odds ratio, OR: 8.28; p = 0.001), coma (OR: 4.3; p = 0.001), seizures (OR: 14; p = 0.012), mechanical ventilation (OR: 18.55; p = 0.00), orogastric feeding (OR: 2.78; p = 0.042) and electroencephalography (EEG; OR: 9.6; p = 0.00) predicted poor short-term outcome. Abnormal NE at discharge (OR: 15.6; p = 0.001), EEG (OR = 10.60; p = 0.00) and brainstem-evoked reflex audiometry (OR = 37.20, p = 0.00) predicted a low DQ at 3 months. Mortality and morbidity of neonates with Pyogenic Meningitis (PM) were similar to that in developed countries. Outcome depended on severity of the disease and NE at discharge.
