Abstract: RESUMO -Introdução: O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e analisar fatores relacionados à meningite n e o n a t a l . Método: Em estudo de caso-controle, foram examinados neonatos com meningite no período de agosto/2002 a dezembro/2003 na Unidade de Tratamento Intensivo Neonatal (UTIN) e alocados re c é mnascidos hígidos como grupo controle (GC). Foram relatados dados re f e rentes à gestação, ao parto e ao neonato. Os resultados foram considerados significativos quando p (alfa)< 0,05. Resultados: F o r a … Show more

“…A recent study in the Southeast region of Brazil observed these risks factors except for one. This study had 98% of newborns with sepsis showing also risk factors for bacterial meningitis [8].The infectious agents affect the central nervous system (CNS), usually through haematogenous pathway, and this is the reason why it is associated to newborn sepsis in approximately 75% of the cases. Hence, pathogens causing sepsis are in general the most prevalent and are located in the CNS.…”

“…Nevertheless, 20 to 58% of survivors show neurological sequelae. Another worrisome issue is the association of sepsis with meningitis, which has remained constant and rather frequent, showing rates of approximately 25% [1][2][3] . A recent review study on neonatal infections has reported meningitis incidence ranging from 0.8 to 6.1 cases in every 1,000 live newborns 4 .…”

“…Meningitis occurring during the first week of life, particularly on the first two to three days, suggests that maternal transmission may be involved. Such cases are more frequently caused by group-B streptococci, E. coli and Listeria monocytogenes, whereas occurrences after this period suggest that nosocomial infection consisting of staphylococcal species and Gram-negative rods is the main etiological agent 2,3,5 . Studies in developed countries comparing neonatal meningitis data over the periods 1985-1987 and 1996-1997 showed little variation between etiological agents, and group-B streptococci were the agents most frequently isolated 2,6,7 .…”
