Early prognostic value of repeat CSF parameter measurements in neonatal bacterial meningitis following initial antimicrobial therapy

Early prognostic value of repeat CSF parameter measurements in neonatal bacterial meningitis following initial antimicrobial therapy

Abstract Background Bacterial meningitis (BM) in neonates leads to high mortality rates and long-term complications. Current guidelines recommend repeat cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examinations to assess treatment efficacy, but their clinical value remains controversial. This study aims to evaluate th...
