Followup study of 22 cases of meningitis due to Escherichia coli (E. coli) in the newborn period showed a mortality rate of 7 out of 22 (31.88%), severe physical and mental sequelae occurred in one case and mild to moderate sequelae in two others. Most psychometric tests were within normal range in the survivors examined. There was a correlation between low birth weight and a high CSF protein with adverse prognosis.
对22例新生儿期大肠杆菌性脑膜炎病例的随访研究显示，22例中有7例死亡（死亡率为31.88%），1例出现严重身心后遗症，另2例出现轻至中度后遗症。在接受检查的幸存者中，大多数心理测试结果在正常范围内。低出生体重和脑脊液蛋白升高与不良预后之间存在关联。
