Distinguishing between bacterial and aseptic meningitis in children: European comparison of two clinical decision rules.
Dubos F, Korczowski B, Aygun DA, Martinot A, Prat C, Galetto-Lacour A, Casado-Flores J, Taskin E, Leclerc F, Rodrigo C, Gervaix A, Gendrel D, Bréart G, Chalumeau M. Dubos F, et al. Arch Dis Child. 2010 Dec;95(12):963-7. doi: 10.1136/adc.2010.186056. Epub 2010 Jul 26. Arch Dis Child. 2010. PMID: 20660523
CONCLUSION: The Meningitest and the BMS were both 100% sensitive. This result provides level II evidence for the sensitivity of both rules, which can be used cautiously. However, use of the BMS could safely avoid significantly more unnecessary antibiotic treatments for chi …

[Distinction between bacterial and aseptic meningitis in children: refinement of a clinical decision rule].
Dubos F, Moulin F, Raymond J, Gendrel D, Bréart G, Chalumeau M. Dubos F, et al. Arch Pediatr. 2007 May;14(5):434-8. doi: 10.1016/j.arcped.2006.12.009. Epub 2007 Jan 26. Arch Pediatr. 2007. PMID: 17258439 French.
CONCLUSION: The refined rule (called Meningitest) was a highly sensitive, specific and user friendly tool that could allow to safely avoid>50% a posteriori unuseful antibiotic treatments for patients with AM....

Utility of Clinical and Laboratory Decision Rules in Identifying Bacterial Meningitis Among Children with Suspicion of Central Nervous System Infections in a Malaria-Endemic Area, Mbarara, Uganda.
Boum Y 2nd, Nyehangane D, Llosa AE, Saliez N, Nanjebe D, Kemigisha E, Charrel RN, Baron E, Mwanga-Amumpaire J, Page AL. Boum Y 2nd, et al. Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2019 Jun;38(6):e131-e133. doi: 10.1097/INF.0000000000002185. Pediatr Infect Dis J. 2019. PMID: 30199480
In children hospitalized with suspected central nervous system infections in Uganda, we found that the Bacterial Meningitis Score and Meningitest showed lower performance than in European children, and that a decision rule designed specifically using parameters associated …

Effect of delayed lumbar punctures on the diagnosis of acute bacterial meningitis in adults.
Michael B, Menezes BF, Cunniffe J, Miller A, Kneen R, Francis G, Beeching NJ, Solomon T. Michael B, et al. Emerg Med J. 2010 Jun;27(6):433-8. doi: 10.1136/emj.2009.075598. Epub 2010 Apr 1. Emerg Med J. 2010. PMID: 20360497
Patients were classified as Likely Bacterial Meningitis or Likely Viral Meningitis based on their CSF and peripheral blood results using the Meningitest Criteria, with microbiological and virological confirmation. RESULTS: Of 92 patients studied, 24 had Likely Bacterial Me …

Performance of a predictive rule to distinguish bacterial and viral meningitis.
Chavanet P, Schaller C, Levy C, Flores-Cordero J, Arens M, Piroth L, Bingen E, Portier H. Chavanet P, et al. J Infect. 2007 Apr;54(4):328-36. doi: 10.1016/j.jinf.2006.06.009. Epub 2006 Aug 2. J Infect. 2007. PMID: 16887191
We then performed several thousand Monte Carlo simulations of both bacterial and viral meningitis for children and adults. We found that our scoring tool (Meningitest) had very high performances with positive and negative predictive values of 97% and 94%, respectively. ...

Role of biomarkers in the management of antibiotic therapy: an expert panel review II: clinical use of biomarkers for initiation or discontinuation of antibiotic therapy.

For children with suspected bacterial meningitis, we recommend using a decision rule as an aid to therapeutic decisions, such as the Bacterial Meningitis Score or the Meningitest; a single PCT level 0.5 ng/mL also may be used, but false-negatives may occur. ...
