Abstract

Neonatal sepsis and meningitis are worrisome infectious diseases that can lead to serious consequences. Sepsis is defined as systemic signs of infection and isolation of a pathogen from the bloodstream [1]. An infant with signs of infection without culture confirmation from blood or other sterile sites is considered to have clinical sepsis. Meningitis usually accompanies bacteremia and shares a common cause and pathogenesis. Patients may have complications such as neuromotor and learning disabilities, seizure disorders, visual problems, hearing loss (HL), and impaired cognitive function. Here, the sequelae of neonatal sepsis and meningitis, emphasizing auditory problems, will be discussed.
