In general, whenever the diagnosis of meningitis is strongly considered, a lumbar puncture should be promptly performed. Examination of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is the cornerstone of the diagnosis. The diagnosis of bacterial meningitis is made by culture of the CSF sample.
ROUTINE BLOOD CULTURES. Each culture will consist of an aerobic and anaerobic bottle set. For each episode of bacteremia, blood should be collected from two separate. sites (i.e blood culture x2). Thus, a total of 2 cultures or 4 bottles (2 sets) will be collected per episode of bacteremia. More than three sets yields. little additional information. Conversely, intermittent bacteremias may be missed and positive results will be difficult to interpret if only a single set.
