My baby is 20 monyhs now. He had manengitis when he was 3 days old. After treatment doc said he is absolutely fine and will not have any problems. He is a healthy baby from then reacjed all milestones on time(ex:crawling,smiling,standing,sitting,walkinh...etc) he had command following and good eye contact till 15 montb of life but after that he regressed. Stopped making eye contact, doesnt understand commands, no response on his name... Can it cause ny manengitis ot it is a symptom of autism. Can autism cause by manengitis????
