| Core Tip |
Rapid diagnosis of viral meningitis in children through nucleic acid amplification testing (NAAT) of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can help in establishing a firm diagnosis, allowing early discontinuation of antibiotics and ensuring improved antibiotic stewardship. Turnaround times will be improved through availability of onsite NAAT facilities in the hospitals with inpatient pediatric units. All CSF samples in infants, irrespective of their white cell counts (actual/adjusted) should be offered NAAT, as viral meningitis due to enterovirus or human parechovirus can occur without pleocytosis. |
