Résumé
We aimed to assess the risk factors, clinical features and microbial profiles of meningitis in neonates with suspected sepsis referred to a pediatric emergency. Over 13 months, 191 neonates were enrolled, of whom 64 (33.5%) had meningitis. There were no significant differences in risk factors or clinical features between infants with and without meningitis. Ninety-three neonates (49%) had culture-positive sepsis (109 isolates). Candida spp. (n = 29), coagulase-negative staphylococci (n = 28) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 23) were the most common pathogens. Forty-one (53%) bacteria were multidrug resistant.
