Just wondering if anyone else had a newborn (under 3 months) develop meningitis. Particularly enterovirus meningitis. My son is 6 weeks and was just hospitalized for it. Doctor made it sound like we would be in the hospital for a while- he actually said he couldn't tell us how long we'd be there. It depends on how well they can get symptoms under control. Biggest one is fever wich spike this morning at 104° and now is at 102°. If your baby had this and was hospitalized, how long did you stay total?
Re: Neonatal meningitis?
My best friends mom had viral meningitis last year and was in the hospital for almost 3 months.
It really depends on how quickly they can get the symptoms under control and how well he responds to it.
