Sound Spectrographic Cry Analysis of Infants with Bacterial Meningitis

A total of 110 pain‐induced cries from 14 infants with bacterial meningitis were analysed by sound spectrographic methods. The infants were between four days and six months old, and the cries were analysed between one and 14 days after the diagnosis. The cry analysis was compared with the crying of 75 full‐term healthy infants. 15 cry attributes were studied.
