ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To study the clinical features and prognosis of bacterial meningitis in full-term and preterm infants.@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 102 neonates with bacterial meningitis. According to the gestational age, they were divided into a preterm group (n=46) and a full-term group (n=56). The two groups were compared in terms of clinical manifestations, laboratory markers, imaging findings, and clinical outcomes.@*RESULTS@#Poor response and apnea were the major clinical manifestations in the preterm group (P0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#There are certain differences in the clinical manifestations between full-term and preterm infants with bacterial meningitis. Preterm infants tend to have a higher incidence rate of poor prognosis.
