Abstract
Bacterial meningitis is a devastating disease with significant morbidity and mortality, especially in neonates and young infants. The overall incidence of meningitis has decreased with focused screening, public health interventions, and vaccination, but the disease remains a significant concern in high-risk groups. In this review, we provide an update on bacterial meningitis in children younger than age 60 days, including epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, treatment, and prognosis.
