Cerebrospinal Fluid Bacterial Antigen
No Benefit Beyond Gram Stain
Studies by Other Investigators
May 2010
Although previous studies have examined the bacterial antigen test, they differ from the current study in that the populations studied were primarily pediatric or fewer positive cerebrospinal fluid specimens were included in the analysis. Ours is, to our knowledge, the only study that includes large numbers of adult and pediatric patients.
