Neonate, Meningitis
Repeat Lumbar Puncture at 24 Versus 48 Hours After Traumatic Lumbar Puncture in Neonates
Visibly traumatic as well as microtraumatic lumbar punctures (LP) are very common in the neonatal period. The presence of blood makes it difficult to interpret cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) findings.
