Abstract

Vertical transmission of Gardnerella vaginalis is rare but may be associated with neonatal morbidity and mortality. We present a febrile neonate who was diagnosed with enteroviral meningitis and had a concomitant urinary tract infection (UTI) with G. vaginalis. Our case highlights the need to investigate for both bacterial and viral pathogens in neonates who present with possible serious infection.
