Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Bacterial meningitis in infants is an infrequent but life-threatening condition. Empiric therapy should begin as soon as meningitis is thought likely. Consequently, the causative microorganisms may not always be detected using culturing techniques, as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cultures are influenced by antibiotics. Nucleic acid amplification tests, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (multiplex...
