Abstract
Researchers at Alfred I duPont Hospital for Children, Wilmington, DE, and other Centers in Lyme endemic areas determined the frequency and type of all treatment complications at return visits within 30 days of an initial Lyme meningitis diagnosis.
Highlights
Researchers at Seoul National University and other centers in Korea examined the clinical characteristics of enteroviral meningitis in 390 infants and children; 16-18% were without CSF pleocytosis
Enteroviral meningitis was diagnosed by nested RT-PCR assay in 277 cases and by GeneXpert assay in 113
Absence of CSF pleocytosis was associated with younger age, lower peripheral white blood cell count, and shorter interval between onset and lumbar puncture
Summary
Researchers at Seoul National University and other centers in Korea examined the clinical characteristics of enteroviral meningitis in 390 infants and children; 16-18% were without CSF pleocytosis. Enteroviral meningitis was diagnosed by nested RT-PCR assay in 277 cases and by GeneXpert assay in 113. CSF culture performed in 273 patients (70% of total) was positive in 104 cases (38% of those tested). Of the 390 with enteroviral meningitis, 71 (18%) did not have pleocytosis.
