This 45 day old newborn, born by LSCS to a mother who had PROM and fever, developed sepsis in early neonatal period and then progressed to meningitis. Treated for 3 weeks and discharged, 20 days later presented in the OPD with this sign. (Mom came to show the elder sibling and was about to meet an ophthalmologist for the little one). I kept a probe on the AF and it was huge communicating hydrocephalus and was referred to the Neurosurgeons. 1. What is the effective broad spectrum antibiotic for mothers who have PROM and fever?
2. Investigations like HVS, can it be useful here? 3. How often babies are actually screened once they come to NICU or PNW with swabs and gastric aspirate?
