ABSTRACT
This retrospective study evaluates the clinical utility of CFPNGS in the diagnosis and management of pediatric meningitis. CFPNGS identified a causative pathogen in 36% of 28 subjects, compared to 50% for diverse conventional testing (57% combined). CFPNGS may be considered as an adjunct to standard testing.
