Negative Cultures for Cerebrospinal Fluid Samples taken from the Myelomeningocele Sac on the Day of Repair.

CONCLUSION: Upon CSF analysis, we found increased levels of CSF protein and other abnormal values in this population; however, none of the cultures grew any pathogens. This finding is an important tool in the evaluation of the possible etiologies of and therapeutic approaches for future shunt problems in this group of patients. PMID: 32663918 [PubMed - in process]
