Abstract
- The article focuses on the results of a research study about the presence of bacterial meningitis in a patient with normal white blood cell count of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Topics mentioned include CSF-blood glucose ratios, the pathogens detected in the patients, the median time from admission to initiation of antibiotic therapy, and the need to perform lumbar puncture before discontinuation of antibiotic therapy.
