Pediatrician, Neonatology 's  Response
Good evening .You have an infant with neonatal meningitis and sequelae thereof.
Hereone has to take special care since you have a special needs infant .Make sure that her growth is maintained normally with adequate nutrition ,in terms of formula ,vitamin supplementation ,and trace elements .
a Simple measurement of the head circumference and maintain record will help you assess her brain growth and also whether she is going in for atrophy causing a smaller head (microcephaly)or hydrocephalus .
Routine check up for hearing and vision is a must and may invovle special procedures .One common complication of meningitis is seizures or fits .
You have to consult a pediatric neurologist because he will assess the electrical activity in the brain by EEG and prescribe medications if the EEG shows abnormal electrical activity ---very likely,he will start on specific medications to prevent seizures .
She will also need a physiotherapist to help her muscles from getting too tight or too loose and floppy.
The progress is ascertained by periodic regular evaluation and harnessing all resources needed for a special needs motor and behavioural development .
