Description

Difficulty in interpreting white blood cell (WBC) counts in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) complicates the diagnosis of neonatal meningitis in traumatic lumbar punctures (LP). The aim of our study was to determine the correction factor for meningitis that offers the greatest diagnostic efficacy and accurate interpretation of WBC counts in traumatic LP.
