Introduction: In conjunction with the Millennium Development Goals, the under-5 mortality rate had a remarkable global decline of 53% between 1990 and 2015 [1]. Currently, the first month of life accounts for 45% of under-5 mortality. Infections rank among the main causes of newborn mortality, along with intrapartum issues and problems from premature delivery [2]. Together, neonatal sepsis and meningitis account for 6.8% of all under-5 fatalities worldwide [3]. Material and Method: The limitations of the study are those characteristics of design or methodology that impacted or influenced the interpretation of the findings from your research. Study limitations are the constraints placed on the ability to generalize from the results, to further describe applications to practice, and/or related to the utility of findings that are the result of the ways in which you initially chose to design the study or the method used to establish internal and external validity or the result of unanticipated challenges that emerged during the study. Result: In the present study ,100 cases of neonatal bacterial meningitis have been taken from SVPPGIP and SNCU OF SCBMCH, Cuttack and their results were statistically analysed and compared. Conclusion: One of the leading causes of morbidity and death in neonates is still bacterial meningitis. Since LP is so widely used for diagnosis, an increasing number of cases have been diagnosed in the last ten years. Although the morbidity has not changed, the mortality has decreased dramatically as a result. Our study examined the relationship between greater complications and delayed hospital presentations.
