Traumatic lumbar punctures occur frequently in the neonatal intensive care unit, making the interpretation of cerebrospinal fluid values difficult. We report correction factors for cerebrospinal fluid protein and white blood cells in the face of red blood cell contamination. These correction factors should facilitate the diagnosis of bacterial meningitis in highrisk hospitalized infants.
在新生儿重症监护病房中，腰椎穿刺创伤很常见，这使得脑脊液值的解读变得困难。我们报告了脑脊液蛋白和白细胞在红细胞污染情况下的校正因子。这些校正因子有助于诊断高危住院婴儿的细菌性脑膜炎。
