J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 94 (1), 2018
Abstract Objective: To assess the performance of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lactate as a biomarker to differentiate bacterial meningitis from viral meningitis in children, and to define an optimal CSF lactate concentration that can be called significant for the differentiation. Methods: Children with cl...
