E Pavari, and M Lini, and G Grifi, and C La Cauza

Two cases are reported of neonatal meningitis caused by Enterobacter cloacae. The two patients are alive; one is perfectly well, the other resulted in hydrocephalus. Both children came from the same neonatal Unit where the were given phototherapy. The importance of nosocomial infections is outlined and different aspects related to the etiology, the environment and the host (particularly immunologic deficits) are briefly reviewed.
