OBJECTIVES: To study the epidemiological, clinical and bacteriological aspects and outcome of purulent neonatal meningitis (PNM).
METHODOLOGY: Retrospective analysis of 55 cases of PNM hospitalized in the pediatric ward of Hedi Chaker Hospital from 1990 to 2012. Infants less than 29 days of age were included. The diagnosis was made on either the presence of bacteria in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or the combination of pleocytosis >30 cells/mm(3), protein level >1.3 g/l and glucose level <2.2 mmol/l or CSF/blood glucose ratio <0.4.
RESULTS: The male:female sex ratio was 1.75. One or more maternal risk factors for infection were found in 24 cases. The main symptoms were fever and poor feeding. Soluble antigen was positive in four cases and cultures had isolated the bacteria in 28 cases. The mortality rate was 40%. The sequelae rate in the survivors was 16.4%.
CONCLUSION: This study emphasizes the severity of PNM with high rates of mortality and neurological sequelae.
