Posted July 14, 20204 yr How do you interpret traumatic LP in a neonate with suspected meningitis? If you re-adjust number of WBC then how do you do it? Please post any reference if you have any. Thanks.
July 15, 20204 yr IN some NICUs,If WBC in a neonate with suspected meningitis = A,traumatic LP result in RBC number in CSF = B, the re-adjust number of WBC = A — B/400(B/500)
July 16, 20204 yr Recent studies says it is no more recommended to do corrected wbc in bloody csf samples,and it is better to rely on csf culture , antigen detection tests and gram stain Edited July 16, 20204 yr by yasser68
