The sequelae of neonatal encephalitis, in the case of viral encephalitis, are mainly neurological damage such as slowness of speech, paralysis, dysphagia, deafness, and epilepsy. It can also manifest as dementia, loss of memory, comprehension, mental retardation, apathy, dull eyes, aggressive behavior, irritability, and abnormal cognitive function, as well as autonomic dysfunction such as excessive sweating and salivation. The more severe sequelae of bacterial meningitis include impaired consciousness, hearing loss, motor impairment, visual impairment, epilepsy, and hydrocephalus. Milder sequelae include behavioral problems, learning difficulties, and decreased muscle tone. Newborns with convulsions, screaming, feeding difficulties, and fever should be seen promptly to avoid delays in treatment and adverse consequences.
