The use of molecular diagnostic methods to improve the detection of the common bacterial and viral causes of community acquired meningitis in children in South Africa
With conventional methods of diagnosis, substantial overlaps are common due to an absence of the expected CSF findings clearly aligning to bacterial or viral infection. Reduced sensitivity is commonly observed chiefly due to empiric antibiotic treatment leading to bacterial culture negative results....
