Abstract
There are two main concerns on the part of neonatalogists and pediatricians when diagnosing a sepsis neonatorum—whether or not there is a spread to meningeal spaces and what the possibilities are that a surviving infant might develop a neurological deficit. The earlier the diagnosis, the better the neurological prognosis might be.
