In comparison to other ages, neonatal meningitis is more prevalent. Because the immature immune system lacks humoral and cellular immunological responses in phagocytic and complement functions, the newborn is especially vulnerable to infection. According to the World Health Organization, almost 5 million newborn fatalities occur each year. The great majority of them (98%) take place in underdeveloped countries. Meningitis is diagnosed through a physical examination and a study of the patient's medical history for any of the symptoms listed above. Although patients with viral meningitis normally do not require hospitalisation, antipyretics, antiemetics, and analgesics that may be used at home should be offered.
