Incidence: BM in E+W unchanged in 3
decades (≤28d)
Clinical: Mainly non-specific, ~1 in 2 did not
have fever
Causal bacteria: GBS & E. coli leading causes
Empiric antibiotics: wide variation used,
consensus?
Neonates from home & term IP: Amox + CTX,
Home & term IP >1 mo: CTX
IP & preterm: consider meropenem
Outcome: Death/ acute complication : 27% of
cases

days: assessment of healthcare
delivery
Objectives
• To describe the early presenting features
• To review pre hospital management
• To review in-hospital & discharge
management
• To determine the long-term
neurodevelopmental outcome of infants <90
Preliminary data

management)
Expert panel review of case management
(PID, Neonatologist, General Paediatrician,
trainee)
Inclusion: Significant bacterial pathogen from CSF or from blood culture &

27. Summary
THERE APPEAR TO BE SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITIES
TO IMPROVE EARLY HEALTHCARE DELIVERY!
- Pre hospital management inappropriate in 41% of cases
- Delay in antibiotics >1 hour in 73% (home) & 82% (IP)
- Inappropriate empiric antibiotics: 52% (home) & 61% (IP)
- 38% of home admissions discharged at age < 2years
- 16% of IP cases discharged at age < 2 years
(NB. follow up of 1980s & 90s survivors showed sequelae in
50%)
- Quality of clinical practice needs improvement
BMJ 2001;323:1-5; Eur J Pediatr 2005;164:730–4
28. Next steps…
Towards better outcomes for bacterial
meningitis
Prevention
- GBS vaccines (ClinicalTrials.gov, number
NCT01193920)
- Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (herd immunity: PCV
13)
- Hygiene strategies during pregnancy (listeria)
- Improving infection prevention & control practices in
NNUs
Improve early management
- Education of parents (Orange book ,Your Guide, update
Baby watch)
