Clinical Prediction Rule for Identifying Children With Cerebrospinal Fluid Pleocytosis at Very Low Risk of Bacterial Meningitis JAMA 297:52-60, Nigrovic,L.E.,et al, 2007 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract This large multicenter study validates the Bacterial Meningitis Score prediction rule in the era of conjugate pneumococcal vaccine as an accurate decision support tool.
