ABSTRACT

Meningoccocal meningitis is a rare infection in the neonatal period worldwide and there is just one publication in the Cuban medical literature dated 25 years ago, which presented some neonates with bacterial meningitis caused by Neisseria meningitides. This is a febrile neonate with toxicity manifestations and bulging fontanelle; he was performed a lumbar puncture to find spinal fluid pleocytosis and the serogroup B N. meningitides was then isolated, so he was diagnosed with neonatal meningococcal meningitis with favorable progression. Some characteristics of the meningococcal infection, the diagnosis and recommended treatment were described in addition to making reference to case reports published in the international literature.
