Abstract

A case of meningitis due to the pleuropneumonia-type organism occurred in a newborn infant with a spinal meningocele. The source of infection is believed to have been from the maternal birth canal through the dural membrane which ruptured at birth. The infection became apparent after 25 days of penicillin and streptomycin therapy, but responded promptly to terramycin, and the baby made a complete recovery from the infection.
