Background: is recognized as one of the most important causes of meningitis in infants. Case presentation: was susceptible only to amikacin. Conclusion: Conducting LP and CSF culture seems to be the most important strategy for diagnosing meningitis. It is also recommended to perform LP before taking antibiotics. For identifying the infection, some factors such as fever, CRP test results, CSF parameters (leukocyte count, glucose level, and CSF culture results) should be considered to prevent misdiagnosis.
