NOTE: All doses listed below are for patients &gt;2 kg and at least 7 days of age<br>
 
Any infant who has '''tachycardia out of proportion''' to fever or HR &gt;180 in any age group has a serious bacterial infection (SBI) until proven otherwise. Other serious risk factors include lethargy, hyperventiliation, cyanosis, poor perfusion and hypotonia. Have a high suspicion and treat accordingly. Always treat for meningitis until you are sure it is not. Note that bacterial etiology and antimicrobial therapies are similar for all neonatal illnesses.<br>

Send blood, urine and CSF cultures. ''Listeria'', while infrequent at CCHMC, may sporadically occur in clustered cases.
 
#Ampicillin 200 mg/kg/day (if &gt;2 kg) IV div Q6 AND Cefotaxime 200 mg/kg/day IV div Q6.

Workup: Blood and urine specimen. If low-risk (non-ill appearing), normal blood and urine analyses, parents and PMD okay, consider no LP, no antibiotics, and discharge home with f/u in 12-24 hours. Otherwise, LP + Abx.
 
#Cefotaxime 200 mg/kg/day IV div Q6 or Ceftriaxone1 100 mg/kg/day IV div Q12. If evidence of UTI or severly ill infant, add Ampicillin.<br>

#Ampicillin 400 mg/kg/day (if &gt;2 kg) IV div Q6 (if &gt;7 days) AND Gentamicin 4 mg/kg/day IV Q24.<br>
 
If ''GBS'' meningitis, treat 21 days. If ''GN'' meningitis, treat 21 days (and &gt;14 days after CSF sterilizes). Tailor therapy when specific etiology known
