We analyzed the impact of a diagnostic meningitis/encephalitis polymerase chain reaction panel. Introducing the test resulted in no significantly shortened empiric antibiotic streptococcal/meningococcal treatment (-1 day [95% confidence interval {CI}, 0-3 days]; = .16), nor hospitalization (-2 days [95% CI, 0-3 days]; = .86). Empiric treatment duration against Herpesviridae and remained unchanged, and pathogen-specific diagnoses were not increased.
我们分析了诊断性脑膜炎/脑炎聚合酶链反应检测板的影响。引入该检测并未显著缩短经验性抗生素治疗链球菌/脑膜炎球菌感染的疗程（缩短1天[95%置信区间{CI}，0 - 3天]；P = 0.16），也未缩短住院时间（缩短2天[95%CI，0 - 3天]；P = 0.86）。针对疱疹病毒科的经验性治疗疗程保持不变，且病原体特异性诊断并未增加。
