Persistent pleocytosis in bacterial meningitis
J Pediatr.
1976 Mar.
Abstract
Persistent pleocytosis of greater than 60 white blood cells/mm3 was commonly seen in children adequately treated for bacterial meningitis. It occurred in 13 of 21 (62%) children with Hemophilus influenzae meningitis and in 2 of 9 (22%) with pneumococcal meningitis. Pleocytosis alone cannot be used as an indication of prolonging therapy; significance of persistent pleocytosis is not known.
