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.
If all four sets are negative after 24 hours and sepsis is still suspected, more cultures may be collected. No more than four sets of blood cultures are to be accepted for culture by the laboratory each 24 hours (calendar day) unless approved by the Microbiology doctoral director or Pathology resident on call. Separate venipunctures are required for each set of cultures.
